We use the term of “hill station” to describe a place located at somewhat higher elevations. Normally this term is heard in Asian regions, where European grand rulers set up towns where temperatures were cooler (as a refuge from the scorching heat in major cities). However benefits of hill stations are not limited to having cold climates, because a typical hill station offers a very good vacation experience for people living in a close proximity, while these visitors provide financial prosperity for the local people. Also, these resorts can prove to be a good tourist attraction for any country.
