The snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are the highest in the world, and even if you have no plans to climb one, gazing at their lofty heights from a distance is entrancing. A few places in northern India offer fabulous mountain views – try Shimla for hikes around the Himalayan foothills, Gangtok for mountain monasteries and views of Kangchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world, and the Tiger Hills near Darjeeling for glimpses of the mighty peak of Everest itself.
