Mussoorie,
Queen of the Garhwal Hills, spread across hills at
heights above 2000m, set on a ridge against the
Himalayas, is at a vantage point for magnificent views
of peaks in the western Garhwal hills, including
Banderpunch Massif at 6,316 metres and Swargarohini at
6,252 metres and the vast plains of North India spread
out below. 34
kms from Dehradun, Mussoorie overlooks the Doon valley
to its south and on a good day, offers a panoramic view
of the impressive snow-capped Himalayan mountains to the
north. Surrounded by pine forests, it enjoys mild summer
days offset by chillier evenings. In winter, both snow
and rain are common and monsoon showers take place
between June and September.
