Mussoorie, Popularly known as the Queen of Hills, this charming hill station, 34 kms from Dehradun is situated at an altitude of 2003 mts( + 6500 FT) in the Garhwal hills, above sea-level. Mussoorie is one of the best (To Me, It Is Super) beautiful hill stations in India and the most frequently visited.
Unlike Darjeeling or Simla, Mussoorie does not have a mall. But it has beautiful and clean Mall Road. It will give you a rare feeling of happiness when you walk down on this road. It has no elevation flat through out. The added bonus is the view of the Doon Valley from this road.
#Gun Hill Point
After check in, washing, lunch and a little bit of Siesta we set off for Gun Hill. The rope way station is at the end of the Mall road. It is 400 M journey to 2nd highest point of the town..
From Gun Point you can have panoramic of the beautiful Mussoorie and the Himalayan Ranges.. As it was cloudy and foggy, we were deprived from viewing the snow peaked ranges…but what was offered in our platter just floored us…
I remembered Wordsworth lines
“I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
what wealth the show to me had brought”
I must admit that Wordsworth gave me company at so many places and so many times during my tour of Mussoorie..
( My Snaps will give you some idea, better you visit it
And enjoy).
When we came down it was past dusk and the mall road with colorful lights and white fog created as if I am watching a horror movie!
Next day in the morning we went to Municipal Garden..
It is 4 km from Library point.
We took a taxi…Here, it must be noted that at Mussoorie, you just cant hail a taxi here. You have to book a taxi at the taxi drivers associations and pay according to the chart. Taxis accommodate 5 persons and mostly consists of Ambassadors and Maruti Vans.
The municipal garden is worth to visit. You have to pay to enter. They have maintained beautifully. Long pines, a small canal with boating facility and green house with beautiful orchids.. Any nature lover will like this place.
After returning and having sumptuous lunch, We decided to walk on the camel back road. It starts from Library Bazaar and ends at Kurli Bazaar covering a distance of about 3.5 km… You can also hire horse. Two bends just like camelback gave this novel road to this walk way..
At one side hotels and residential places and the other side gives you wide angle view of the Himalayan ranges…
We were greeted by sharp shower while taking walk…
Two good points are there from where the view is lovely…I will request all, who wish to visit this hill station to have a walk on this road.
This is what i suggest here. If you have some other point or places than please comment below with your valuable feedback.
