100 Holidays in the Hills
and 100 bonus hideaways
ISBN 81-901724-6-8, Rs 225
100 Holidays in the Hills and 100 bonus Hideaways is the much awaited sequel to the ever popular winner of the prestigious PATA Gold Award for travel guides in 2004 - 75 Holidays in the Hills. You can’t blame us for being encouraged to climb even higher. Traffic to the hills saw an increase as readers took their pick from our list of old favourites and a few unheard of places. Almost all the destinations covered in this book involve low-impact tourism and we at Outlook Traveller are particularly concerned about the health of India'''''s hills. Many of these became destinations simply because of the enterprising spirit of a mountain lover who built a cottage on the edge of a cliff. The beauty of the hills will be preserved by such homes forever. Welcome home, the hills seem to say. So what are you waiting for?
