For us a vacation ideally means suspension from the maddening world, away from the congested traffic and into some space of our own. But come winters and all the hill stations are covered with people playing the same old song. Shuttling between crowded markets and ready to pay an arm to over occupied hotels, all just to award them with not such a great experience and no peace at all.
