Travel to Mussoorie - sightseeing, accomodation and travel guide

Mussoorie is referred to as the Queen of the Hills, and justifiably so, with its beautiful, undulating, tree-covered hills, looking down on the Doon valley and with a fantastic view of the Himalayas. Tucked in the Shiwalik range of the Himalayas, Mussoorie is post-card pretty and has wonderfully clean air to match. There is also a romantic air about this beautiful hill-station, which has time and again lured honeymooners to it ever since it was established way back in 1827. Before this time, Mussoorie had changed hands between the Gurkhas and the British, but had been inhabited only by shepherds.

Though known primarily for its natural beauty and cool climate, Mussoorie has something to offer everyone. Trekking, hiking, waterfalls or a quiet stroll along wooded pathways, the brisk excitement of Kulri Bazaar or exploring the corners of the older Landour Bazaar, enjoying an exhilarating sunset at the Lal Tibba or a family picnic at the Company Garden, horse riding down the length and breadth of Mussoorie or simply taking in the divine beauty and crisp, clear mountain air, there is a lot that one can do in this charming hill town.
