Category: Mussoorie, Uttarakhand

Mussoorie is the Queen of Hills — a Himalayan ridge town in Uttarakhand that has been drawing visitors since the British made it their favourite summer retreat in the early nineteenth century. With its colonial heritage, forested walks, sweeping views of the Garhwal peaks, and the quiet, literary neighbourhood of Landour above it, Mussoorie rewards those who come for more than a weekend. Stay in a heritage cottage, walk the Benog forests, have tea in Landour, and watch the clouds drift through the valley below from a rock above the town at sunset.
