This one goes specially for those who have become tired of going to the usual destinations of Jaipur, Shimla, Mussoorie & Nainital and are looking for something new and exciting for their next holiday. Especially during the holiday season of MAY-JUNE, the regular hill stations become so crowded that it becomes a pain just to park your car. So one is not able to really appreciate the beauty of these place. So the following destinations are cool, off beat and not so crowded even during peak summers cause the accommodation options at these place are limited.
