A Wizard With Words

Ruskin Bond's books evoke old-world charm and beautifully describe the surroundings. Here are six hill stations made immortal by the ace writer.

Mussoorie

'Road To Mussoorie' and many other books will egg you to visit this beautiful hill town in Himachal Pradesh. The place might have changed a lot, but it still retains a distinct charm.

Dehradun

In 'Our Trees Still Grow In Dehra', the author talks about his time spent in Dehradun as a youngster. The time spent near sulphur spring and quaint trails in the back alleys of Doon will make you want to visit the place now.

Landour

This is Ruskin Bond's home now, and you would definitely want to visit it! About 40 minutes away from Mussoorie, visiting this beautiful but small cantonment town full of Deodar trees is a must-visit.

Shimla

This is another hill station that many of Bond's books refer to, including his biography ‘Lone Fox Dancing’. This charming hill town in Himachal Pradesh remains one of the most popular tourist spots in North India.

Kasauli

Ruskin Bond was born in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, in 1934. In his writings, one comes across passionate descriptions of hill towns and Kasauli is one such place.

Nainital

This is another hill town with a colonial-era charm that tourists love and why not? The mall, the lake, the pleasant weather, and the colonial-style villas - all make for a perfect combo.
