  Western Hills : Bracing weather, verdant surroundings ...

 


Welcome to the hill stations of western India. Nestling among the mountain ranges that sweep across the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, these hill resorts have much to offer.

Saputara Hills ( Gujarat ) :
The only hill resort of Gujarat, sitauted at an altitude of 873 metres on the Sahyadhri range. Its a picturesque hill resort overlooking an emerald green plateau. Places of interest - Nageshwar temple museum, the forest nursery, lake with boating facility, and a popular base for  excursions to the Mahal Baridipara Forest Wildlife sanctuary (60km) & the Gira waterfalls (52km).

Pachmarhi Hills ( Madhya Pradesh ) :
is a hill station in the low-lying Satpura hills of Madhya Pradesh. This beautiful area was first discovered by Captain Forsyth, a Bengal Lancer, in 1857. On his advice it was developed into sanatorium and hill resort. The architectural and city plan still reflect its antecedents. The area is off the usual tourist beat and hence not over-developed. Instead, it is simply a lovely, relaxing area to 'get away from it all.
