The highest mountain of the Nilgiri Hills in India’s Tamil Nadu district, Doddabetta is crowned with a dense forest nature reserve. The area is famed for its biodiversity, both in terms of plant and animal life, and the fern and rhododendron-studded hike or drive past sweeping grassy slopes and shoals to the top will bring you out on a tree-clad summit which commands glorious views over the surrounding peaks and valleys, and the distant Chamundi Hills. The colonial hill station of Ootacumund, now a holiday resort, and its exotic botanical gardens are to be found on the lower slopes.

Darjeeling in the northeastern state of West Bengal is definitely the queen of the eastern Himalayas. A perfect town for simple walking and talking amidst its casual and almost ‘standstill' atmosphere
