Best hill stations near Delhi within 300 kms at a glance: I have read enough travel blogs that casually list Shimla, Manali, or Mussoorie under “hill stations near Delhi within 300 kms.” Shimla is 370 km. Manali is 570 km. That is not a weekend trip. That is a commitment. So I did something most […]
