THE UNEXPLORED MAJESTY OF HILLS

When you plan to evolve with love in the lap of unexplored hills, India has a lot to offer.

Hills bring an unwind to our metropolitan trajectory. Unspoiled, unexplored places bring the virgin whiff of their natural landscapes, local meals and warm hill culture from their dwellers. To soak in such places is a couple's first choice, especially when they want to cherish the memories explored while driving through the scenic vistas. However, what is to be remembered is that we must reserve our footfall at such places with our city-noise to preserve their sanctity. Such places are not for the seekers of luxurious stays but for those wishing to be lost in the whistling woods. A quick quest on a search engine and you'll be furnished with small hotels and warm homestays.

Chopta, Garhwal Himalayan Range 

A trekkers' delight, Chopta sits in the small region of Uttarakhand at 4,000 metres above sea level. March to May brings the best in the valley, with snow-melts paving the way for a landscape filled with greens, orchids, rhododendrons and pine forests. Milky rivers chess-play the entire region, adding to its hilly charm. As many as 240 species of birds can be found here, including migratory birds such as Himalayan monal, Himalayan swiftlet, Himalayan griffon and several more. What is even more interesting is the fact that Chopta is followed by Ukhimath, another hill station resting in its purity and the divine shrine Kedarnath. It is also popularly known as the heart of the Panch Kedar.
