Mussoorie Tourism
Mussoorie offers a wonderful view of the Himalayan snow ranges to the north-east
and the Doon Valley., Roorkee, Saharanpur and Haridwar to the South, creating
an almost serene atmosphere for the tourists. Mussoorie was discovered by
Captain Young, an adventurous military officer in 1827. He was lured by
the extraordinarily beautiful ridge and laid the foundation of it. Mussoorie
is also a Gateway to the Gangotri and the Yamunotri shrines.
Mussoorie, the queen of hill stations, is famous for its scenic beauty,
gay social life and entertainment. The excellent climate makes it an attractive
holiday resort. Thronged by holidayers, it vibrates with gaiety and merry
making during the summer season. There are no steep inclines and the more
adventurous can undertake enjoyable excursions to various beauty spots in
the vicinity. Mussoorie affords glorious views of the mights Himalayan peaks.
Kempty falls which are about 11 kms. from the town attract hundreds of people
every day. The Bhatta falls are also famous for scenic beauty.
Though the tourist here is smaller than that of Kempty yet it is a picnic
spot near to the town. Yet another place of interest in the town is Depot
Hill, popularly known as 'Lal Tibba'. It is the highest point in Mussoorie
and beautiful Himalayan panorama is visible on all clear days from this
spot. The Badrinath, Kedarnath, Bandar-poonch, Sri Kantha and Nanda Devi
peaks can be seen from here. Camel's back hill can be reached by electric
trolly. The top commands a very beautiful view both of the hills as well
as the valley. On clear days, one can see even the Ganga and the Yamuna
from here. Mussoorie is well connected by roads with Dehra Dun, Delhi, Roorkee
and Saharanpur. There are some good hotels, recreation clubs and restaurants
to cater to the needs of the tourist.
Mussoorie, with its green hills and varied flora & fauna, is a fascinating
hill resort. Commanding a wonderful view of extensive Himalayan snow ranges
to the north-east, and glittering views of the Doon Valley, Roorkee, Saharanpur
and Haridwar to the south, the town presents a fairyland atmosphere to the
tourists.
Its history dates back to 1827 when Captain Young, an adventurous military
officer, explored the present site and laid the foundation of this holiday
resort which now has few rivals.
Musssoorie is famous for its scenic beauty and hectic social life. It provides
all kinds of amusement and every facility for domestic and foreign tourists.
Mussoorie is conveniently connected by road to Delhi and other major cities
