[1] Wilson Hills stands in a densely forested region close to the Pangarbari Wildlife Sanctuary.

The Wilson Hills are popular during the summer months as it enjoys a cooler and less humid climate than the surrounding area.

Wilson Hills was named in memory of Leslie Wilson, the Governor of Bombay from 1923 to 1928, by Vijayadevji, the Maharana of Dharampur.

[3] Leslie Wilson and Vijayadevji had planned to develop the area into a hill station, but the project failed to take place.

It is connected by a tar road to the town of Dharampur, which is 29 km (18 miles) away at the base of the hills.
