After the epidemic is over, why not have a double hug with nature and culture in India

The Indian subcontinent has a hot climate, and the southwest monsoon brings the most abundant rain of the year to the Indian peninsula, as well as unbearably scorching heat.

As a farming nation with a long history, although the Ganges Plain that traverses the northern part of India and the alluvial plain of the cord-shaped river in the south are rich in products, they also provide a natural channel for the east-west connection of heat flow.

The towering Himalayas at the northern end of the subcontinent were considered insurmountable places in ancient India, and only the most fortunate practitioners and epic heroes could enter with their wisdom and courage.

Although believers from all over the world have made pilgrimages to the Himalayas, the journey is difficult and dangerous.

The British, who were accustomed to the climate of 40 degrees north latitude, came to India and suffered from the unbearable heat of the subcontinent plains. After gaining a firm foothold in India, they searched for a place to live in the mountains with cool climate and pleasant scenery, setting off a wind of building a mountain city .

Even today, people who travel frequently to India can see that the lush mountains and the densely populated mountains are two worlds. The mountain town in the cedar forest is still a gentle home for Indians to nostalgic and honeymoon.

In many mountain cities in India, the author has measured the scenery and the unique feelings of many mountain cities with my footsteps, and I would like to share with you the public advice.

Today there are no traces of the palace, but Raniket remains the same as a place of beauty: flowers, trees and green meadows in the enchanting setting of the heavenly Himalayas.

The picturesque mountain town of the Anglo-Indian period was rediscovered by the British, who bought land from local villagers and built it as a summer resort in addition to establishing an army recruitment center.
