Mussoorie, Queen of the Hills, is among the most popular hill stations of the country. It is a captivating paradise for leisure travellers and honeymooners. Mussoorie is a wonderful place to unwind. Here you do what Mussoorie encourages you to do to your heart’s content. The modern bungalows, malls and well-laid gardens located on the small hills around the area are enough to attract any tourist. The town has unavoidable romance in the air – an excellent breathing space for tourists and people who seek relief from the hot sultry conditions of the plains. Nature has gifted Mussoorie everything, which makes a place charming and cherubic. A perfect summer resort and a major educational and cultural centre has been rolled into one hub. Located on a 15 km long horseshoe ridge with the grand Himalayas as a backdrop, the colonial hill resort of Mussoorie spreads across at a height of 2,005.5 m above sea level. From this vantage point, Mussoorie offers superb scenic view of peaks of the Himalayas in western Garhwal.
Mussoorie offers a beautiful nature walk known as Camel’s Back Road. This road takes its name from a hill shaped like a camel’s hump. There is also Gun Hill where cannons were kept for the defence of the town. The oldest Christian church in the Himalayas, St. Mary’s, is situated above Mall Road, and is currently undergoing restoration. Kempty Falls is a nice picnic spot. Company Garden (now Municipal Garden) is another popular tourist spot. During the season, the Company Garden presents a beautiful collection of flowers and plants. The Happy Valley has a small Tibetan temple. This was the first Tibetan temple built in India. The temple was constructed in 1960 by the Tibetan refugees. Lal Tibba is another tourist spot of Mussoorie. Beautiful Dhanaulti is about 24 kilometers from Mussoorie. Mussoorie also has India’s largest roller skating rink.
Mussoorie boasts of some of the most spectacular views of the Himalayas. Hill ridges, irregular in shape and partly wooded, form layer after layer to the horizon, where snow capped mountain peaks are visible as though you can touch them. From West to East, the mighty peaks of Bandar Poonch, Srikantha, the Gangotri group and the Chaukhamba present a mesmerizing panorama. 34 km from Dehradun, Mussoorie overlooks the majestic Doon valley to its south and the impressive Himalayas up north. The mountains beckon climbers, trekkers and adventure sport enthusiasts. Trekkers begin their journey into the popular trekking area of Har-Ki-Dun with its snows capes and verdant-forested slopes from Mussoorie. The holy River Ganga is visible from one end of the ridge and Yamuna from the other, a stretch of around 20 km in all, from Cloud’s end in the west to Jabarkhet in the east.One of the most easily accessible hill stations in Northern India, during the peak tourist season, Mussoorie becomes a bustling resort with hordes of holiday-makers ambling down the central Mall. The suburban area of Landour, about 300 m away from the main town, is quieter and has managed to retain some of its old colonial charm. Surrounded by lush wooded expanses and winding lanes, it offers exclusive opportunities for quiet walks. It overlooks the sprawling Doon valley and the city of Dehradun, the gateway to Mussoorie and to entire Garhwal.

Dehradun is situated in the Doon valley between the two most important rivers (the Ganga & the Yamuna). It is most picturesque having moderate climate, nestling a number of places of tourist interest. The historical linkage of Dehradun goes back to the period Mahabharat. Acharya Dron belived to be lived here, thus this place also gets its name Dronanagari. Dehradun houses indoor ice rink that meets the size requirements for ice hockey, figure skating, short track and rink bandy.
Dehradun is filled with places of tourist interest and sightseeing. Some are Tapovan, Sahastradhara, Tapkeshwar Temple, Robber's Cave, Ram Rai Darbar, The Kalinga War Memorial, The Forest Research Institute Museums, Mindrolling Monastery including others. After a hard day of sightseeing, a drive down to Dakpathar with its scenic surrounding and the sparkling waters of the Yamuna makes this as a the perfect spot to relax.
Around 14 km from Dehradun is the cold Sulphur water spring called Sahastradhara. The spring is believed to have exceptional medicinal value and the dripping caves and a bath in the Baldi River near the spring are said to rejuvenate the body and soul.
This is one of the most famous temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated by the forest side, the main Shivalinga at the temple is inside a natural cave "Drona Gufa". Water drops from the ceiling of the cave trickle down over the Shivalinga in a continuous downpour, making for an interesting spectacle. It is also believed that this was used as a residence by Guru Dronacharya.
It is also known as Guchchu Pani. Robber's cave is a beautiful picnic spot. On display here is one of nature's strange phenomena; a stream of water goes underground here and reappears a few meters away. The cave is surrounded by hills and is a beautiful getaway for those looking for peace and quiet of the hills.
A large Buddhist monastery in the Tibetan Nyingma tradition. Popular Tibetan legend says that Mindrolling lineage descended from the celestial Devas (Gods). It is thus one of the "Deva-family" lineages of Tibet. The Great Peace Stupa in Og Min Ogyen Mindrolling Monastery is 185 feet tall and 100 square feet in width. It is the world’s largest stupa and is a magnificent example of Buddhist art and architecture. The stupa is surrounded by a two-acre landscaped garden.
This war memorial is only of its kind in the world which was erected by the British to honor their foe, the Gorkhas.
Lavish environs and one of the largest institutes of its kind. Entomology Museum contains about 3,000 exhibits representing the various stages of insect pests. Forest Pathology museum houses 900 exhibits of various economically important tree diseases and timber decays. The center of attraction, however, is a transverse section of a 704-year-old Deodar (Cedrus deodara) tree, which was felled in 1919 from the hills of U.P. The natural and climatic events can be clearly traced by reading the annual rings. Depiction of Indian history starting from the date of construction of Qutub Minar to Jalianwala Bagh incident made on this exhibit makes it very interesting.
