Mussoorie (Garhwali/Hindi: Masūrī) is a hill station and a municipal board in the Dehradun District of the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is about 35 km from the state capital of Dehradun and 290 km north of the national capital of New Delhi. This hill station is in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayan range. The adjoining town of Landour, which includes a military cantonment, is considered part of 'greater Mussoorie', as are the townships of Barlowganj and Jharipani. The pin code for Mussoorie is 248179.[1]
Being at an average altitude of 1,880 metres (6,170 ft), Mussoorie, with its green hills and varied flora and fauna, is a fascinating hill. Commanding snow ranges to the northeast and glittering views of the Doon Valley and Shiwalik ranges in the south, the town was once said to present a 'fairyland' atmosphere to tourists.
Snow capped Himalayas at dusk. As seen from Mussoorie. We were staying at Avalon Resort, Gun Hill, Mussoorie. At the back of the resort there was a walking trail from where in the evening (just before sunset) I was getting this wonderful sight of the Himalayan peaks bathed in the orangish sunlight!!
The view by the way is of Yamunotri (hover over the pic above) and Bandar Poonch (monkey's tail!). I hope I have marked the right ones! This was taken quite some time back!
Press L for the best view.
