The famous Georgian mansion where Gandhi resided is on this hill and
hence it is a frequented spot by tourists. Summer Hill is also home to
the Indian Institute of Advanced Study.
To take a quiet walk and enjoy nature in its fullest form, Summer Hill
is the right destination. Deodar trees, Pine trees, and the snow clad
mountain terrains are mesmerizing to look at and it is no surprise if
you long to be a part of this world.
Since winter could freeze you, the best months to visit Summer Hill
would be the summer time only. The pleasant weather will help you make
the most of your trip.
