Escaping the Summer Heat — One Hill Station at a Time

North India’s scorching summer was in full swing and I knew I had to trade the chaos and sweat for cool breezes and mountain views. I had my eyes set on the four must-visit hill stations everyone raves about Manali, Shimla, Mussoorie and McLeodganj.

What made this trip even more memorable? Booking every stay through cheQin.ai a platform I found randomly but turned out to be my travel hack of the year.

Manali — Where My Journey Began

When I came to Manali, the first thing that hit me was the fresh mountain air. From the snow-capped peaks to the riverside cafes in Old Manali, I was in love. It was easy to book a hotel here. I just posted what I needed on cheQin.ai and almost immediately I got the top 5 lowest offers. No calls. No worries. Just book and check-in.

Shimla — Colonial Charm with Pine-Fresh Air

Next destination? The lovely town of Shimla. I explored Mall Road, experienced the toy train ride, and enjoyed the views from Jakhu Temple. My hotel? Found via cheQin.ai’s real-time price competition between local hotels — I chose the one that matched my vibe and budget.

Bonus: The platform shows real-time hotel rates, so you know you’re getting a genuine offer.

Mussoorie — The Queen of Hills Did Not Disappoint

Mussoorie came with the romanticism of clouds and winding roads. I visited Kempty Falls, hiked to George Everest Point, and spent the evening leisurely on Camel’s Back Road. Booking my stay in Mussoorie felt just like the weather — relaxed. With cheQin.ai, I didn’t have to scroll through infinite pages of overhyped and overpriced hotels — I just posted my need, and let the hotels respond with their best offerings.

I even got a better room because I could negotiate via the app. No third-party drama, just direct deals.

McLeodganj — Peace, Prayer & Perfect Vibes

The last leg of my journey was spiritual and healing for my soul. McLeodganj has an awesome combination of the Tibetan culture and mountain life, so I could feel the spirituality. I meditated at the Dalai Lama temple, walked around Dharamkot, and finished the trip with momos and a beautiful view of the mountains.Thanks to cheQin.ai even in this tourist area I found a cozy homestay that suited my budget, with a view to remember. The host was even happy I booked through cheQin as its zero-commission for him too.
