The country's topography being circumference by majestic mountain ranges, standing high with their prestigious grandeur and enigmatic charisma.

Yet you will be astonished to know that there are many more hill stations which are still unexplored and seldom visited. Their beauty is limitless and gorgeous, sure to enthral you with their store of spectacular wonders of nature. In this article, my sole objective is to provide you with a list of 8 stunning offbeat hill stations in India that are glorious and incredibly beautiful.
Kalpa, Himachal Pradesh
Nestled within the Himalayas, Kalpa is a magnificent tourist destination. It is one of the spectacular and magical offbeat hill stations in India. Surrounded by the gorgeous valleys, deep gorges and most importantly the river Sutlej transforms the place into a wondrous sightseeing spot to visit. Most of us fail to add Kalpa to our itinerary or even add it to our bucket list. But I can guarantee that you not be disappointed once you reach the place. The breathtaking panoramic landscape, in fact, will entice you to return back again into this wonderful land of unparalleled beauty.
Tungi, Maharashtra
Seldom you can find travel enthusiasts speaking of Tungi in their future bucket lists. It is one the unexplored and offbeat hill stations in India, power packed by serenity and surreal calmness. The place is concealed within the core of Mother Nature untouched and pure. You can feel the freshness and purity in the air as you breathe in and immerse into its exotic beauty. Tungi is a small hamlet at the foothills of the Tungi Fort from which it has earned its name. You can view the sparkling Lake Pavana from the village. If you are yearning to spend moments of solitude, Tungi is the perfect place for you.
Kemmangundi, Karnataka
Think of hill stations and we are always prone to think of the towns, villages and hamlets that adorn the slopes of the Himalayan mountain ranges. But to your utter dismay, the southern part of India has equivalent mesmerizing hill stations. Located in the Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka, Kemmangundi is one of the astounding offbeat hill stations in India. Lush green mountains, refreshing environment, tinkling of the mountain streams and the vivacious plain lands are the unique characteristics of the place. Want to get lost into the lap of nature? Kemmangundi is the place for you to unwind and twine into the blissful atmosphere of nature.
Gurez Valley, Kashmir
Kashmir never disappoints a traveller, its beauty is infinite, filled with enormous natural treasures and wonders. Yet our minds still revolves around the popular places of attraction. So why not today we talk about a place called Gurez Valley in Kashmir. You can term it as one of the offbeat hill stations in India. The snow-clad mountain peaks, the pristine valleys, the misty clouds embracing the hilltops and the dotted houses spread across the terraced mountain slopes impart a dream hidden in a painter's brushes. You can soak your minds and soul into the solemn nature for a cool and peaceful stay.
Askot, Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand experiences a massive footfall throughout the year by nature admirers and adventure enthusiasts. The state is in the bucket list of the majority of the globetrotters. Askot is the absentee in that list and it's my sincere attempt to ensure you add the missing link. Flourished and embellished by the line of Pine and Deodar trees and adorned by the vibrant coloured Rhododendron; Askot is a dazzling hill station. Located at the backdrop of the Chhiplakot and the Panchchuli Ranges, it is one of the astonishingly beautiful offbeat hill stations in India.
Haflong, Assam
Haflong in Assam is steadily gaining popularity as a popular hill station. Thanks to adventure enthusiasts, trekkers and hikers who have started exploring the place and indulging into its exotic beauty. More and more travellers are listing it in the itinerary and transforming the offbeat hill station into one of prominence among the tourists. Yet its serene and blissful atmosphere enchants the mind and the soul. A perfect getaway from the humdrum of daily life; it is nourished with rich flora and fauna. The greenery around is refreshing and the glittering lakes are a breathtaking experience.
Nelliyampathy, Kerala
if you are looking for a day trip to spend your weekend, Nelliyampathy in Kerala is a small and quiet hill station for a perfect experience. The place is adorned with tea and coffee plantations, lush green forests, fruit orchards and cardamom plantations. Gushing waterfalls and flowing water streams transforms the place into a dreamland. Very rare travellers tend to add the place in their future visits. But I can bet you will be awestruck once you set foot into this wondrous place, encapsulated by the enormous beauty of Mother Nature.
Lambasingi, Andhra Pradesh
Most of us have never heard of this name. And that's the reason I want to particularly mention Lambasingi in Andhra Pradesh. The place had been in the news; when it snowed here once in winter. It was a miracle, that earned the place considerable limelight among the travellers. Summers are comfortable and soothing in this peaceful village. It's a perfect place to escape on a weekend and spend time in the vicinity of nature. Refresh your mind and purify your heart to start a new beginning in your life.
