There are many hill stations throughout India; towns located at a higher elevation than the nearby plain or valley. Most were established by European colonists escaping the summer heat (temperatures in the hills are much cooler), and with over 20 mountain ranges, today they are spread all across India.
With awe-inspiring access to nature, and a romantic seclusion that modern cities rarely offer, choosing a hill station can be a very challenging task. But if you’re a nature lover or looking for a romantic escape, we’ve narrowed your list down to 8.

It takes some people a lifetime before they realize that life is short should be lived to the fullest. We’re easily sucked into the safety and security of routine, though as Anna Faustino and Tom Rogers discovered at an early age, this can often come at a hefty price. Becoming too dependent upon routine comes at the cost of not having lived your life.
Because you can’t live the same year 75 times and call that a life. We are expected to go to school, work, get married, and have kids, but where and when does society’s handbook lay out time for pursuing your own passions and adventures in life?
For Anna and Tom, their adventure is traveling, but for others, it might be a career, or raising a family. But whatever it is, life doesn’t truly begin until you’ve broken out from your comfort zone, and having the courage to break free from routine is the only way you will find the adventure in you. Because life is too short to be anything but happy.
This week’s inspiring traveler interview is on giving back and living life to the fullest through travel. An interview with Anna and Tom from “Adventure in You“.

If you, like me, dedicate a large portion of your time to travel, and spend more time traveling than you are resident in your own country, you’re more than likely to meet someone overseas. Which is a pity, because long distance relationships don’t work, right? OH MY GOD WRONG!!!!! I swear I will hit the next person who tells me that long distance relationships NEVER work out…and there have been many.
