When you think about the vacation at a ‘Hill Station’ the first thing comes in your mind is tranquility in the nature followed by snow capped mountains, deep valleys, walking through clouds and a cup of coffee etc. away from the bustling of the cities.
Do we really get all or even half of that?
Not really, what exactly happens when you reach there (hill stations near Delhi NCR), especially around the weekends, its just opposite. You find crowded hotels, restaurants, massive traffic, noise pollution etc. and all your excitement takes a back seat and you start thinking what the hell am I doing here?
Since weekends attracts a huge chunk of travellers from nearby destinations all across the country, and when it comes to Delhi NCR only a couple of widely known hill stations tops the list. Since everyone reaches at the same time, they face heavy crowd, no parking space, unavailability of hotel rooms etc. Consequently, you spend most of your time on the roads, fighting in traffic jam and finding hotels, etc.
So what should we do? What could be the potential solution to this problem?
Have you ever thought, its not the destination spoiling your vacation, but your unawareness, which is limited to just a couple of popular but much obvious hill stations.
To avoid such circumstances, you must explore new destinations. And, it will not be exaggerated if I say that you will find a number of unknown beautiful destinations only in the vicinity of these popular hill stations, which has not been explored yet and has the ability to offer all that you desire.
Such destinations may not have a chain of branded hotels, fancy markets; but definitely a peaceful environment, cool breeze, valleys and all of that which is required to make your vacation the perfect one.
While travelling to little remote areas, you will get more personalised hospitality, better oxygen, fresh air, more vegetarian food, fresh fruits and most importantly peace of mind.
So, instead of following the crowd, be the first one to discover new places, bring them in public domain and facilitate an opportunity to the future travellers to see the unseen and experience the latest one.
Now the choice is yours!
