Plan A Hill Station Trip This New Year

Jenson 3 years ago

Are you still wondering if going to a hill station this new year is your cup of tea or not? When you think of a hill station, you might consider the mountains, thin air, calm environment, and scenic landscape view, but there is more to just sightseeing. Here we have curated a list of activities to do when visiting a hill station this new year.

Trekking

There could be no better than a hill station for a long trek. The cold weather and clean air make strolling more natural and soul-refreshing. The mountainous terrain, pine trees, and chirping birds make it even more lovely for an evening walk.

Hiking
People frequently confuse between trekking and hiking. There are many similarities yet critical contrasting difference that sets both apart. While each involves walking, trekking is typically attempted on easier terrain and lasts for days, whereas hiking is a day-long activity with steep rocky climbs often ends with a camp base at the peak of a mountain.

Railfanning
Most hill stations have a small 'toy' train ride which you can take, like the one from Ooty to Mettupalayam across the Nilgiris. You can make it a road trip or a short-term camp outing – the decision is yours. The delight of riding with children in the little train and hearing your voice reverberation off the mountains is an encounter you ought not to miss.

Rock climbing

Rock climbing is an extraordinary sport to enjoy when you're at a hill station – all things considered, hill stations offer the best rocks galore. It satisfies your need for physically challenging activity and is more secure than hiking.

Bungee jumping
This sport restores your entire body and gives an extraordinary adrenalin rush. While this is an adventure sport, many certified adventure sports clubs arrange bungee jumping in India at a reasonably decent fee.

Zip-lining
Experience the excitement of swinging down mountain slopes while clutching the pulley with your hands. Another adventure sport can shiver each nerve in your body and provide you with a truly incredible experience.

Other activities
Every hill station has a market street, Shopping center, or a lake road where you can look for local products and handicrafts. Some hill stations offer natural and herbal products that are a significant attraction for the health-conscious crowd.
