Highest Mountain Ranges
With the highest mountain ranges in the world, the Himalayas, running north to east, Aravalli and Vindhya ranges across western and central India, and Western ghats in western and southern parts, India is full of hill stations and offers some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.

Indian hill stations are a traveler's paradise, gifted with snowy peaks, deep gorges, green valleys, misty woods, frothing rivers, azure lakes and flower-filled meadows. These misty, mystical and serene hill stations of India are a perfect holiday option.



Makalu
In 1853 before trigonometrical observations had been taken Captain Sherwill wrote of Makalu:

One mountain in the Nepal range is a most remarkable object, both for its curious shape and for its immense height: its name none of my party knew, nor have I yet succeeded in obtaining the "name. The peak is a hollow crater-like mountain probably 27000 feet in height with a long table"mountain attached to it, both covered with glaciers.

Nanga Paebat
Nanga Parbat is the most isolated and perhaps the most imposing of all the peaks of Asia. With the exception of subordinate pinnacles rising from its own buttresses, no peak within 60 miles of Nanga Parbat attains an altitude of more than 17000 feet. Throughout a circle of 120 miles diameter Nanga Parbat surpasses all other summits by more than 9000 feet. Its upper 5000 feet are precipitous.
