Answer:
1)The hills of North India, as I have found in all my travails, have an aesthetic aura about them. The diamond cut roads, the mystic air, the serene coolness and the feel of an Indian relaxation. One such place at an altitude of 2005 metres is the hill station of Mussoorie also regarded as the ‘Queen of Hills’ in India.
Mussoorie is situated in the state of Uttarakhand and comes under the district of Dehradun. It boasts of a 26069 member population as per the 2001 census. The hill station is situated in the foothills of the grand garhwal himlayan ranges. There’s this town adjoining Mussoorie named Landour that is actually a military cantonment is considered to be a part of the ‘greater Mussoorie’ that is also called to be the new extension of Mussoorie. The plethora of sheer beauty that surrounds the place is nothing like anything. It takes us away from the cacophony of our everyday schedules and gives life a new tinge that is graveled by the stone-chips of peace of tranquility. The very air and atmosphere of Mussoorie has that chill and serenity about it that grasps the minds of its visitors and captivates their souls for a time that is longer than what they spend there. Despite the crowd and bustle there’s an unworldly peace surrounding the Queen of Hills.
And this very place is also the most favourite hangout of our very own Novel writer – Ruskin Bond.
2)The most convenient rail-head to get down at Mussoorie would be the station of Dehradun where taxis and buses are readily available from.
Another major city is Delhi from where Mussoorie is well connected by roads.
Mussoorie is known to be the ‘Gateway’ to the two major shrines of Northern India – Yamunotri and Gangotri.
On the way up to Mussoorie from Dehradun, the best part is the deer parks where you can spot one or two deers at regular intervals or if you’re lucky you might even face a caged cheetah.
