Category: Landour / Mussoorie, Uttarakhand

Landour is Mussoorie’s quieter, older self — a British cantonment perched above the Queen of Hills where the roads are too narrow for crowds, Ruskin Bond still walks the Chukkar, the Landour Bakehouse serves the best banana bread in the hills, and century-old stone cottages open their windows to the same Himalayan peaks they have always faced. Come to Mussoorie for the lake and the mall. Walk up to Landour to remember why hill stations existed in the first place: not for tourism, but for the restorative quality of altitude, silence, and the smell of oak forest after rain.
