But if you truly want to enjoy and relax in this small hill station then it would be better to stay in a hotel/resort which gives you an amazing view and a chance to rejuvenate yourself.

Apart from amazing hospitality and the location, the rooms at this place are super amazing too. And the beds are really comfortable and huge and will instantly make you feel sleepy and relaxed.
