beautiful ridge and laid the foundation of it. Mussoorie is also a Gateway to
the “Gangotri” and the “Yamunotri” shrines

social life and entertainment. The excellent climate makes it an attractive

during the summer season. There are no steep inclines and the more adventurous
can undertake enjoyable excursions to various beauty spots in the vicinity.
Mussoorie affords glorious views of the mights Himalayan peaks. Kempty falls
which are about 11 kms. from the town attract hundreds of people every day.
The Bhatta falls are also famous for scenic beauty.
Though
the tourist here is smaller than that of Kempty yet it is a picnic spot near
to the town. Yet another place of interest in the town is Depot Hill, popularly
known as 'Lal Tibba'. It is the highest point in Mussoorie and beautiful Himalayan
panorama is visible on all clear days from this spot. The Badrinath, Kedarnath,
Bandar-poonch, Sri Kantha and Nanda Devi peaks can be seen from here. Camel's
back hill can be reached by electric trolly. The top commands a very beautiful
view both of the hills as well as the valley. On clear days, one can see even
the Ganga and the Yamuna from here. Mussoorie is well connected by roads with
Dehra Dun, Delhi, Roorkee and Saharanpur. There are some good hotels, recreation
clubs and restaurants to cater to the needs of the tourist.
