Mussoorie

I literally hated this place when we got a posting here. The house at a hill, the cloudy weather and the rain. Everything made me so anxious. 




But as I started living here, I realized that how beautiful and peaceful this city is. The so clean weather, the  turquoise blue sky, the mountains,  beautiful doon valley. Trust me this city has so beautiful flora and fauna for nature lovers. Soon I also made friends here.


  • "Camel's Back Road" is a beautiful road parallel to the Mall road. Along the road, a beautiful cemetery is located about mid-way on the loop.
  • The Mall: 
  • Beautiful Dhanaulti is about 32 kilometres from Mussorie. Mussoorie also had India's largest roller skating rink.
  • Kempty Falls - Kempty Fall is about 15 km from Mussoorie. this now over-built spot is a popular tourist destination. Catch a taxi or a bus from the Library stand.
  • Lal Tibba  is 5 km uphill walk from Picture Palace. The  Old light house is situated here. 
  • Lake Mist is on the way to Kempty falls 10kms from Mussoorie. 
  • Dhanaulti  is about 28 Km from Mussoorie. This is a beautiful place for nature lovers. This is basically an Eco park. 
  • Himalayan Weavers - Himalayan Weavers is a store with wide variety of woolens and other hand made products. The specialty of this store is that they use only natural dyes. They have a website:www.himalayanweavers.org
