A 3-day Mussoorie weekend — Camel Back Road and Gun Hill viewpoints on arrival, then Kempty Falls, Lake Mist, Buddha Temple and Company Garden on Day 2, before the drive back to Delhi.
Perched at 2,005 m in the Garhwal Himalayas, Mussoorie extends along a scenic ridge overlooking the Doon Valley and the Himalayas. Established in the 1820s as a British summer retreat, it remains one of India's most beloved hill stations — with the lively Mall Road at its heart, colonial churches and the peaceful Landour cantonment.
The iconic Camel Back Road — a 3 km loop named after a camel-shaped rock — and Gun Hill (accessible by ropeway) with its 360° panoramas of Doon Valley and the Himalayan ranges are the classic Mussoorie experiences. Kempty Falls, 15 km away, is the most popular waterfall in the region — a multi-tiered cascade with a natural pool. Company Garden, Lake Mist and Buddha Temple complete the circuit.
