Mussoorie is located amidst the middle Himalayas known as the 'Shivalik' mountain range in Northern India. There is a whole lot that I can write about this place but the nostalgia is almost overwhelming.
Mussoorie always remained unofficial - for the affairs of heart. It has always been a gossipy place - with an air of informality and a tradition of romance - The Honeymoon capital of India.
Mussorie has a beautiful nature walk known as "Camel's Back Road". This road takes its name from mountain outcrop in the shape of a camel's hump. There is also "Gun Hill" where cannons were kept for the defence of Mussorie. The oldest Christian church in the Himalayas, St Mary's, is situated above Mall Road, and is currently undergoing restoration. A Cable car goes to the top of Gun Hill from the town centre. Kempty falls is a nice picnic spot. Lal Tibba is another tourist spot of Mussoorie.
Beautiful Dhanaulti is about 24 kilometers from Mussorie.
Rialto and Picture Palace were two nice movie theatres, however they are now closed.
Parking in Mussorie is a big problem. The Road leading to Landour from the Picture Palace has parking spots on both sides. Mall road does not allow entry of motored vehicles till after 10 in the night.
Mussoorie also had India's largest roller skating rink.
