MUSSOORIE - THE QUEEN OF HILLS
Location
of Mussoorie :-
Located at 30.45 degree North 78.08 degree East.
Mussoorie, the proverbial Queen of Hill Stations,
as professed by the British gentry who evaded hot, desultory
summers of Delhi and Kolkata by spending time here.Being at
an average altitude of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), Mussoorie,
with its green hills and varied flora and fauna, is a fascinating
hill resort. Commanding snow ranges to the north-east, and
glittering views of the Doon Valley and Shiwalik ranges in
the south, the town was once said to present a 'fairyland'
atmosphere to tourists. The highest point is Lal Tibba with
a height of over 2,290 metres (7,500 ft).
Mussoorie, 300 kilometers north of Delhi the capital
of India, is among the more popular hill stations of India,
and is called the Queen among the hill stations. It overlooks
the sprawling Doon valley and the city of Dehradun, the gateway
to Mussoorie and infact to the entire Garhwal region of the
Himalayas.
Spread over a ridge, 2000 meters above sea level, Mussoorie
offers distant views of the holy and mighty river Ganga from
one end of the ridge, and of the famous river Jamuna from
the other; a stretch of around 19 kilometers all.
Mussoorie also has the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy
of Administration, the premier training institute for officers
of the Indian Administrative Service (I.A.S) and other civil
services. This unique institute is located about 2 km from
Gandhi Chowk.

the two months ( 15th July to 15th Sept) of Monsoons.
Then mists envelope the mountain slopes and paints the sky
a faint mauve. The woods around - of pine, cedar, birch, oak,
rhododendron and deodar - glow green. There usually is a bright
Christmas and the breathtaking view of the snowclad Mussoorie
gives it the name - the Queen among hill stations.
