Good to be back on Flickr!
I'm back earlier than expected. My original trip got cancelled because of snow storms but I managed to go for a much shorter trip to this beautiful place called Mussoorie which is in the northern part of India.
As you can figure out from this image, Mussoorie is a hill station (a very popular one at that) and a lot of people visit this place specially during the summers (which is now). It used to be a small village with just a few houses but now it is among the most popular destinations for people who want to escape the heat. We certainly did!
This is a view of the Shiwalik Ranges from one of the many view points in the town. Hope you guys like it!

About Mussoorie:
Mussoorie is a city and a municipal board, about 34 km from Dehradun and in Dehradun district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. This hill station, situated in the foothills of the Himalaya ranges, is also known as the Queen of the Hills. The adjoining town of Landour, which includes a military cantonment, is considered part of 'greater Mussoorie', as are the townships of Barlowganj and Jharipani.
About Mussoorie:
Uttarakhand, formerly Uttaranchal, is a state located in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Land of Gods due to the many holy Hindu temples and cities found throughout the state, which are some of Hinduism's most spiritual and auspicious places of pilgrimage and worship. Known for its natural beauty, it was carved out of Himalayan and adjoining north-western districts of Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000, becoming the 27th state of the Republic of India. It borders the Tibet Autonomous Region on the north, Nepal on the east and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south, Haryana to the west and Himachal Pradesh to the north west.
