- A.Morni Hills
- B.Dhosi Hill
- C.Tosham Hill
- D.Kalesar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Morni Hills, in Panchkula district, in the Shivalik range at the extreme north of the state. It is the one place in Haryana developed as a hill station, and the twin Tikkar Taal lakes lie below it. The state tourism department runs accommodation there, and the surrounding Shivalik tract is the highest ground in Haryana.
Option B, Dhosi Hill, is an isolated extinct volcanic hill in Mahendragarh district on the Rajasthan border, identified with the ashram of the sage Chyavan, and it is a pilgrimage spot rather than a hill station. Option C, Tosham Hill, is a rocky hill in Bhiwani district, known for its ancient inscription and for quarrying. Option D, Kalesar, in Yamunanagar, is a national park of sal forest in the Shivalik foothills, a forest destination and not a hill station.
