For the curious and adventurous spirits, there is a lot to do and savor in and around Mussoorie. Short treks, of one to two days, offer uncorrupted vistas of the great Himalayas, mesmerizing jungle trails interspersed with waterfalls and relics of the British Raj which have still not faded in the mist of time.
For most of these places, such as Bhadraj Hills, Nag Tibba, Chaskhet Nature Walk, Benog Tibba Nature Trail, we can help organize treks for our guests, with the help of trained guides and equipment. And not to forget that perennial favourite: the trek from Dehradun to Mussoorie, which starts from Shahanshahi Ashram and passes from Jhari Pani.
Besides, there is so much of throbbing history in and around Landour, the ''Old'' Mussoorie which, incidentally, is a living encyclopedia of buildings and lanes which haven’t transformed or degraded much in the last 120-plus years.
Did you know?
- The father of legendary Jim Corbett – after whom the first and the most popular tiger reserve of India is named- was a postmaster in Landour?!
- One of the soldiers immortalized by Lord Alfred Tennyson in his famous poem `The Charge offer the Light Brigade’ is actually buried in the Camel’s Back Road Cemetery?
