Mussoorie

In 1827, Capt. Young of the British army chanced upon this extraordinarily beautiful wooded ridge and created the centre around which the hill station grew. Just 38 km from Dehradun, Mussoorie offers views of both the Himalayan ranges to the north and the Shivaliks and plains to the south. This erstwhile aristocratic resort is now a popular hill station and promises a variety of entertainment throughout the year. Landour retains much of the old-world charm of the place.
