Mussoorie, Uttarakhand
Mussoorie at 2,005m in the lower Himalayas offers panoramic views of the Doon Valley below and the high Himalayan peaks including Bandarpunch (6,316m). The colonial-era Mall Road, the quieter Landour cantonment area (where Ruskin Bond lives), the Lal Tibba highest point, and the Kempty Falls all offer distinct photographic moods. The characteristic colonial buildings, pine forests, and misty views create a classic romantic hill station aesthetic.
