Mussoorie is an elegant town, steeped in old world charm where one can catch a glimpse of the layers upon layers of hills, rising up higher and higher to join the eternally snow clad Himalayas. The spectacular views of steep, rolling hills draped in dense forests of oak, cedar, pine, birch rhododendron and Deodar trees will have you goggling with wonder.
Boasting of breathtaking views, gorgeous Buddha statue, peaceful monastery, and enchanting prayer flags, Happy Valley has been an overlooked destination for many who visit Mussorie. It however is one of the most tranquil locations one would find in the whole hill station providing for uninterupted views of the Himalayas.
Uttarakhand, a land blessed with immense natural beauty, religious sites and hiking trails, has forever been a go to spot for tourists across the world. Rishikesh, Haridwar, Mussorie, Nainital & Kedarnath, the state is a tourist’s dream destination.
Sadly however, it’s capital city Dehradun always been considered a stop over, despite housing some amazing offerings, that more than qualifies Dehradun to be seen as an independent travel destination.
A 12th century temple perched atop a 2239 ft hill, provides for a perfect weekend gateaway, taking one close to both god and nature. The drive through the winding serpentine roads, hike through a forest and enchanting wood work makes the destination a crowning glory for Dhenkanal, Odisha
A trip to Darjeeling is incomplete without a visit to the highest peak in the Darjeeling hills, the Tiger Hill. The sight of the rising sun from beyond the mountains and the orange blush it paints on the Mt. Kanchenjunga is a sight that is unparalleled.
