The rains open up a glorious chapter for the hills. Not only do they come alive with the thunderous chorus of the rain-bearing grey that echoes across the dense hump of the green, but the misty cool that follows the showers has near hypnotic appeal. And that's precisely how we found the Westin Resort & Spa-shrouded in a halo of powdery mist, vertiginously perched amid the spectacular views of the Shivalik range in Tehri Garhwal. Location is the prime seduction of any destination hotel, and it's no secret that this property truly lucked out. Looking down at Rishikesh on one side, Haridwar on the other, and even on the divine Ganga dancing along its way like a distant dream. Although the property is generously appointed across 12 acres of lush mountainside, it appears much cosier and more compact than the area suggests.
