Mussoorie, India

Mussoorie is a city located in North India in the state of Uttarakhand, about 30km outside Dehradun. About 6000 feet in altitude, Mussoorie is known for its stunning mountains overlooking the plains of India. Typical travellers of Mussoorie tend to be infatuated honeymooners local to Indian soil, curious foreigners looking to learn a second language, or various others just wanting a refreshing escape from the mayhem of India.

Mussoorie is unlike the rest of India in terms of design and layout. In the fall season, these roads are covered with leaves and pine which is actually indescribable in terms of beauty, and winter make for a white and slippery surface.

The view in Mussoorie is unlike no other. During certain times of the year the sky is split from night and day, meaning on one half is night and the other is day. The forest that surrounds the city is Canadian-like thick and even more so filled with wild life.

If you would like more information, pictures, or questions, email us at tours@goindiatravel.ca The road has a consistent feature of rigid grip throughout and is extremely steep due to the slope progression within the city. Small, 2 foot pillars completely shoulder the road whic and we would be more than happy to hear from you.
