Facts About Indian Mountains


  • The Indian subcontinent has ten principal mountain ranges and the largest of all is the Himalayas which lies in the northern part of India.
  • The famous peaks and ranges include the Kangchenjunga range in the Eastern Himalayas which frames the hill stations of Darjeeling and Gangtok as well as the Nanda Devi in Uttarakhand.
  • The Shivalik range that lies within the same region also has some famous hill stations including Mussoorie, Drass, Dalhousie, Kullu, Shimla, Nainital, and many more.
  • Most of the hill stations in India were developed by the British around a central mall to get respite from the oppressive summer heat.
  • Many of the hill stations have picturesque lakes as their focal point, making them excellent places for boating activities.
  • Most of the hill stations in India are located in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Meghalaya in the Himalayas.
  • The states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu are located in the Western Ghats.
  • Some are located in the Eastern ghats of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal.
  • Since a number of these hill stations attract large numbers of tourists in summer as well as other times of the year, they are well connected by rail, road, and air services to major Indian cities.
  • Mussoorie (Uttarakhand) is called Queen of Hill Stations.
