Himachal is probably one of the best states in India when it comes to natural beauty. Palampur is a lovely getaway, the tea gardens are a personal favourite, love them whether they are in Darjeeling, Ooty, Palampur, or Kerala.
I only visited Kerala in India. Honestly, I haven’t heard of this place until now. I would want to see this place in the near future
