The taste of hot meals in the cold, chilling weather of hills is another level! The spicy food gets its real sense at such places. It feels like a life in the clouds when you visit a hill station. The fog is present at all times but you may confuse smoke with it at times since there are many vendors of Corn at the tourist roads, preparing it hot and spicy for people to tackle cold or honestly; enjoy the cold! Due to the slopes of the mountains, it gets difficult to climb up the roads especially when you are looking for a hotel during peak time. The hotels are reached after climbing steep slopes/stairs. Of course nobody needs a ceiling fan in the house at hills. Also, there are not much houses seen since they attract tourists for vacations but are not suitable enough for residential purposes. There are many risks as well, related to a drive to the hills including landslides and cloud bursts. Life is very difficult and only people belonging to the place can tolerate the cold throughout the year. Spending long time there you would eventually miss the heat of summers and might feel homesick.
