Mussoorie, a picturesque hill station in the Northern part of India, was discovered in the 18th century by Captain Young. The British officials added to the popularity of this hill station, as they mostly visited it as a getaway from the heat during summer.

Mussoorie is located at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, on a horseshoe shaped ridge. This altitude gives the destination cool and pleasant climate conditions.

Mussoorie is a lovely hill resort in the state of Uttaranchal. It is like a picture right out of your dreams! A paradise spread over a vast carpet of greenery coupled with a rich variety of flora and fauna, a breathtaking view of the snow capped mountains and a town buzzing with activity marks a perfect destination for a memorable holiday. The rays of the sun reflecting on the snowcapped peaks, the valleys adorned with colorful flowers, and the gushing streams are a treat to sore eyes. No prizes for guessing that this hill station is known as the Queen of Hill Stations!

Mussoorie opens the path to Gangotri and Yamunotri, two sacred destinations known to be the origin of rivers Ganga and Yamuna respectively, flowing through the mountains into the plains.

A one-stop destination for the old and the young alike, Mussoorie unfolds a variety of activities for all tourists, be it trekking, mountain climbing, long walks down the nature’s path, exploring glimpses of British occupancy in the town, or shopping to your heart’s content. Definitely the best place to relax and rejuvenate in the lap of nature.

khushant Those who want to go to mussoorie in december, they all be getting the snowfall + plus take all warm woolens/clothes with you especially for the kids as its too cold, and you will be missing the joy of "Kempty Fall", but the fun of both things are not available at same time, secondly keep some warm clothes out for the journey also as dehradhun and night journey is gonna be very cold. thirdly all those ladies who wants to get some beauty treatments done directly go to "Unique Beauty Parlour" near The old cinema hall, just before the entry gate for cars and all vehicles, parlour is operated by "Roma" (Very famous for her parlour), dont miss the tibetian market on maal Road Plus the chole wala standing near the market. and lal tibba and Tv Tower, above landhour and see the cross sign in the way to tv tower also see the school ground in front of that Cross Sign, its really loving. better catch a taxi for that place,
