A Sneak Peek into Mussoorie
Mussoorie, fondly called the 'Queen of the Hills', is one of India's most beloved hill stations. Perched at an altitude of 2,005 meters in the Garhwal hills, this picturesque town offers panoramic views of the Shivalik ranges and the Doon Valley. Established as a British colonial retreat in 1823, Mussoorie retains its old-world charm with colonial-era architecture, vibrant Mall Road, and cascading waterfalls. The town is a year-round destination - pleasant summers, romantic monsoons, and magical snowfall in winters make it perfect for honeymooners, families, and nature lovers alike. Kempty Falls, Gun Hill, Camel's Back Road, and Lal Tibba are must-visit attractions.
