The gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas and favourite summer holiday spot of people from Delhi and U.P., Mussoorie is 60km ahead of Dehradun. As you drive up from Doon leaving behind the grime and dust of the plains you take in deep lungs-full of fresh pine-scented mountain air, and feel rejuvenated and calmed by the rich green around you. As you enter the town at Kingcraig on to the Kulri Bus Stand or the Library Bus stand, depending where you are staying in town, the distinct ambience of a British hill-station envelops you.

Savvier guests may prefer to stay in the quieter environs of the Barlowganj area, high above a mountain stream that wends its ways past Woodstock, Wynberg, Allen, St Georges and Oak Grove schools.
