Mussoorie Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

Mussoorie Overview

Mussoorie, a charming hill station in the Garhwal hills, is situated at an altitude of 2003 metres above sea-level. Mussoorie is amongst the most frequently visited hill stations in India and acts as a base for some of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites like Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Haridwar and Rishikesh. The name Mussoorie is often attributed to a derivation of ‘mansoor’, a shrub that is indigenous to the area. The town is in fact often referred to as ‘Mansoori’ by most Indians. A land endowed with nature's graces and richness, Mussoorie was an exclusive British resort during the colonial times. Today, however, Mussoorie stands out as an ideal vacationing destination for north India. Located 34 kilometres from Dehradun, it attracts swarms of tourists every year with its blessed landscape and temperate climate. Be it the idea of beating the summer heat or just enjoying a perfect weekend, Mussoorie remains a favorite holidaying option for the people of the nearby plains.
