The most beautiful cities have a tendency to figure on your go to list again and again. The same was the case with Mussourie, which appears as a magnet to my travel psyche.
The Triangle hill, en-route Mussourie
The flora here turns lush heavenly green after the rainy monsoon season. There are just two major colors around, forest green and sky blue. It makes for an amazing combination, sparkling in the lavish sunshine.
Green as far as the eye can see
As soon as we reached, a thick blanket of clouds started engulfing the area. It seemed as though it was timed precisely to our arrival. Very odd.
Sunny turns Foggy
The tree on the right seems alien
Cricket is India’s favorite game, so no wonders as soon as we got off the car, the gentleman’s game was already on.
India’s favorite pastime – Cricket
Just like every hill station in India, Mussourie has a public walkway known as ‘The Mall road’. It covers the whole town and is home to the best hotels, eating joints, shopping stores and other local shops. It is even more beautiful after dark, thanks to the LED lights installed throughout the mall.
Eastern end of the Mall road
Coffee+Pizza = Great combo
Late evening brought the ‘cloud’ on the Mall road, visibility dropped but the setting became divine. It seemed as though you were walking on clouds, where every step revealed something new.
The cloud starts its descent

As the fog kept growing, everything started vanishing in the distance, it was white all around.

A house in the distance
Soon afterwards the clouds disappeared, and out came the fire ball, and everyone was dancing in front of me!

Finding a good vitamin is one of the key factors to living a healthy life. For me, this supplement has always proven to be the greatest. It just gives your soul what it needs and it doesn’t have all of those terrible side effects as all of the bad ones. It’s also one of the less costly ones out there.
You are absolutely right on!
These gorgeous photos remind me of Baguio City here in the Philippines—the fog hovering the mountains, the green scenery, the people walking downstreets… It’s just.. lovely! 🙂
It really is a beautiful place! Just checked out Baguio City, its awesome. Nature at it’s best.
I live in West Virginia, the only state in the U.S, completely within a mountain range, the Appalachians. These are low mountains that are forested most places (others have been cleared because of strip mining, but that is another story). The moisture from the vegetation produces fogs that typically lie low in the hollows (aka hollers =valleys) until the sun burns it off.
Doon valley is quite the same as yours. It makes for incredible sights.
First two pics…..the emerald is magical…..monsoon brings out nature’s green to it’s best.

Thanks for that, Namita.
I love blogspots like this. They focus on locals more than the big cliche tourist sites. Absolutely natural and beautiful.
Thank you Nita.
Beautiful photos, lovely area. My husband used to spend time in Mumbai for his work a few years ago and really loved everything he saw in India. A couple months ago you left a comment on my FP blog post and I am, just now, getting around to visiting the blogs of my nice commenters. Thank you.
Great, your husband must have had a great time here.
The next time you should visit together and visit north India.
