Mussoorie Travel Guide

Mussourie is the honeymoon hang out for locals all over india. Great couple place lots of western activities, it's not really india. About an hour on the road to Chamba there's another smaller quieter place called Danolti. Lovely scenery, not allot of people, great deals on hand woven clothing made right there. Also an interesting restaurant called Andiji's run but a very odd but friendly British chap. I would not rely on him for any services outside of ordering food but he makes for interesting company and if bring him something good to smoke, or a decent set of guitar strings, he'll give you a great tour of the surrounding area in his black ambassador. Very knowledgable guy. He's been living there for about 7 years. Oh the hotels can be rather expensive relative to India but you do get what you pay for. There's horseriding , apple orchards, lots of hiking and if you can find it there's a fabulous back road to thr east of Danolti that will take you back to Dhera Dun. It's amazing driev on bike and if you time it just right you can watch the sunset like 7 or 8 times behind different mountain peaks as you make your way through. There is no where decent to stay on this road until you get to Dher Dun so be prepared to make the whole journey. It's not that long though.

Mussoorie is well connected by Road, Rail from the National Capital of India - New Delhi. One can take a train from New Delhi to Dehradoon (Shatabdi Express Train) and from Dehradun it is just 35 Kms away (Cab / Bus option). Also, from Delhi one can hire / rent a taxi from any travel agent as Mussooorie is a weekend destination of Delhiites and lots of options are available.
