Situated at a height of more than 2000 meters above sea level, Mussoorie is popularly referred to as the "Queen of Hills". This beautiful hill station is located at a distance of 34 km away from Dehradun and is visited by thousands of holidaymakers, honeymooners and business travelers every year. Mussoorie is also a popular weekend destination for the work weary folks of the neighboring cities.
Mussoorie derives its name from the "Mussoorie" plants that used to grow in abundance here. The hill station also serves as a good base for those visiting the Hindu pilgrimage sites like Kedarnath, Badrinath, Haridwar and Rishikesh.
Modern day Mussoorie is truly an interesting place to be in. Apart from its scenic beauty, the hill station is also dotted with beautiful villas, well-laid gardens and picnic spots that add more to its variety. However, the unmistakable old worldly charm of Mussoorie is something the hill station has surprisingly retained over the years. Mussoorie is also known for its elite boarding schools that have shaped many a great minds of today.
Speaking of the tourist attractions of Mussoorie, they include Lal Tibba, Gun Hill, Kempty Falls, Municipal Gardens, Nag Devta Temple, Mussoorie Lake, Van Chetna Kendra and Camel's Back Road.
As one of the most popular hill stations of India, Mussoorie is frequented by hordes of tourists every year. This again acts as a deterrent since the place tends to get too crowded during summers when people from the plains dash off to this hill station to escape the sweltering summer heat. Nevertheless, Mussoorie is quite an interesting place to visit.
