This all-encompassing history of Asian hill stations is good up to a point, though perhaps its wide-ranging nature is itself a drawback. The iconic hill stations in India are covered, though not in great detail, with much discussion of modern attitudes to colonialism, labour practices, and political matters.
A section on "Dutch Indonesia" covering Bogor, Brastagi and Bukittinggi
