So you can enjoy great luxury and best-in-class facilities at a cheap price. The climate at the hill stations is simply perfect. The sunshine lights them up and the lush tea gardens start to shimmer. The hill stations occasionally get misty, which only makes the environment more scenic.<\/p>\n<p>April is a good time for those who do last minute planning as there is no booking required for the activities or accommodation. During peak season you might need to book the activities well in advance, and there will be long queues at times.
