India has seven
principal mountain ranges and the most important amongst them are
the Himalayas. The Himalayas run across the top of the Indian subcontinent
stretching over some 2500 kilometres. These mountains were formed
between 50 to 60 million years ago. The most recently formed are the
lower foothills known as the Shivaliks. Beyond the Shivaliks are the
lower Himalayas which have the most popular hill resorts of India.
These are
Shimla
Dalhousie

These hill resorts are at the height of four to eight thousand feet
above sea level.
