Several

- Darjeeling in West Bengal
- Shimla, Kullu in Himachal Pradesh
- Nainital in Uttarakhand

- Araku, Andhra Pradesh
- Munnar in Kerala
- Ooty, Yercaud and Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu
- Jampui Hills in Tripura
- Khajiyar in Himachal Pradesh

In
addition to the bustling hill stations and summer capitals of yore,
there are several serene and peaceful nature retreats and places of
interest to visit for a nature lover. These range from the stunning
moonscapes of Leh and Ladhak, to small, exclusive nature retreats such
as Dunagiri, Binsar, Mukteshwar in the Himalayas, to rolling vistas of
Western Ghats to numerous private retreats in the rolling hills of
Kerala.
