In 1827, Capt. Young of the British
army chanced upon this extraordinarily beautiful wooded
ridge and created the centre around which the hill station
grew. Just 38 km from Dehradun, Mussoorie offers views
of both the Himalayan ranges to the north and the Shivaliks
and plains to the south. This erstwhile aristocratic resort
is now a popular hill station and promises a variety of
entertainment throughout the year. Landour retains much
of the old-world charm of the place.
