MUSSOORIE
 Mussoorie
is located in the Garhwal hills. Due to its immense natural
beauty, Mussoorie is known as the queen of hill stations. In
1820 Captain Young from the British army was influenced by
the beauty of this place and made this place his residence.
This marked the foundation of a hill station called
Mussoorie. The name, Mussoorie, is derived from plants of 'Mussoorie'
which were found in abundance here. After its discovery,
this hill station gradually developed as a center of
education, business, tourism and beauty.
Mussoorie is located at a height of 2,500 meters in the
green Himalayan range. Due to its location and beauty
Mussoorie is considered as the best hill station in the
northern region. The modern bungalows, malls and well laid
gardens which are located on the small hills around the area
are enough to attract any tourist.
Mussoorie is an excellent respite for tourists and people
who want relief from the hot sultry conditions of the
plains. Nature has gifted Mussoorie everything which makes a
place beautiful. With the onset of summers tourists start
coming here.
As heat increases in the plains number of tourist inflow
also increases proportionately. Mussoorie is very close to
Delhi, its overnight journey and one can return in one day .
So, some people come here to spend their week ends. Also,
the major Hindu pilgrimages like Kedarnath, Badrinath,
Gangotri, Yamunotri, Haridwar, Rishikesh are not far from
this place.
