PHOTOGRAPHIC TOUR OF MUSSOORIE

 I have seen that most of the hill stations in India are known as the Queen of the Hills, but Mussoorie indeed is a queen among all the hill stations in India. 
Here below I present a small photographic display of the wealth of the beauty of Mussoorie.




A few landmarks of the hill town:

The famed library of Mussoorie town that was established by the British in 1843




The Mall


The renowned Cambridge Book Store made famous by the presence of Ruskin Bond here on every saturday.



The well-known cycle rickshaws of Mussoorie.


The celebrated British benches at The Mall


The spectacular Kempty waterfalls



...but the real beauty of  Mussoories lies in her outskirts..


Wandering amidst the tall deodars, oaks and pines and listening to the constant buzz of the cicadas, the call of numerous birds and the murmur of some flowing stream somewhere in the woods...


Budding wild flowers inside the Mussorie Wild Sanctuary that draws hundreds of bees towards these. 


Sipping a hot cuppa tea and listening to the silence and the language of the woods.



A jungle stream that runs through the unknown hedges and shrubs, the deodars and the oaks oozing musical chimes.
