While forgetting everything and relaxing as the cool hilly breeze touches your face is reason enough to visit this beauty of a place, if you still need reasons, here are 20:

1. Summers have kicked in and you shouldn’t wait for it to get any hotter for a getaway to the breezy uphills.

Wind in the hair, sky above the head, and clouds dancing around you – what’s a better way to start off summers?

Just you and nature.

3. Perhaps the only heaven that people have actually seen.
