  1. #1

    Manali

    · Himachal Pradesh
    The all-time favourite. The Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass (in summer) and Old Manali's cafes make it the go-to for everyone from honeymooners to backpackers. Visit October-November for clear views, or January-February for snow.
  2. #2

    Munnar

    · Kerala
    Endless tea plantations rolling over the Western Ghats. Mattupetty Dam, Eravikulam National Park (Nilgiri tahr country) and Top Station offer some of South India's most photographable landscapes.
  3. #3

    Ooty

    · Tamil Nadu
    The Queen of Hill Stations — for good reason. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway (UNESCO-listed) is an experience in itself. Best time: April-June and September-November.
  4. #4

    Darjeeling

    · West Bengal
    World-famous tea, the toy train, and sunrise views of Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill. April-June and October-December are ideal — winter brings clearest mountain views.
  5. #5

    Coorg

    · Karnataka
    Coffee plantations, Abbey Falls and quiet homestays in the Western Ghats. Less touristy than the big-name stations and great for slow travel. Visit October-March.
  6. #6

    Shimla

    · Himachal Pradesh
    British-era charm with the Ridge, Mall Road and Christ Church. Easily accessible from Delhi by road or the iconic toy train from Kalka. December for snow, March-June for pleasant weather.
  7. #7

    Gangtok

    · Sikkim
    Sikkim's clean, well-organised capital. Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass (with permit) and the Rumtek Monastery are the highlights. Best from March-May and October-mid December.
  8. #8

    Mussoorie

    · Uttarakhand
    The 'Queen of Hills' is a quick weekend escape from Delhi. Kempty Falls, Gun Hill and the colonial-era Mall Road. Stay at Landour for the quieter, literary side of Mussoorie.
  9. #9

    Mcleodganj & Dharamshala

    · Himachal Pradesh
    Home of the Dalai Lama. Tibetan Buddhist culture, Triund trek and a thriving cafe scene. The Bhagsu Falls and Namgyal Monastery are must-visits.
  10. #10

    Auli

    · Uttarakhand
    India's best ski destination, with views of Nanda Devi and a 4 km cable car ride. January-March for snow and skiing; April-June for trekking and meadow walks.
