Mussoorie

Mussoorie is small hill station situated in the foothills of the Himalaya ranges in north India.

Mussoorie, with its green hills and varied flora & fauna, is a fascinating hill resort. Commanding snow ranges to the north-east, and glittering views of the Doon Valley & Shiwalik ranges in 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. Mussoorie 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 major cities and is the 'Gateway' to Yamunotri and Gangotri Shrines of Northern India.
