Places to Visit in Mussoorie

Day 1: Exploring Nature’s Wonders-Kempty Falls and Benog Wildlife Sanctuary

We started our trip by going to the amazing Kempty Falls. These waterfalls are known for their flowing waters and the cool feeling of swimming in their clear pools. The falls were about 15 km away from Mussoorie, and we took an auto rickshaw ride to get there.

Later, we went to the peaceful Benog Wildlife Sanctuary, enjoying nature all around. It was about 11 Km from Kempty Falls, and we kept going in hired auto rickshaws. The sanctuary is famous for its plants and animals, giving us a calm break from the busy city. At lunchtime, we tried out a local market with tasty street food.

Day 2: Mussoorie’s Treasures- Gun Hill, Mall Road and Camel’s Back Road

Our second day in Mussoorie was full of fun adventures. We started by going to the famous Gun Hill, the second-highest peak in Mussoorie. It’s well-known for its breathtaking views of the Himalayas. We reached there by taking a thrilling cable car ride from the central area.

After that, we took a leisurely walk along the lively Mall Road, the main hub of Mussoorie. This delightful street is full of shops, restaurants, and buildings with a colonial touch. We spent hours buying souvenirs and enjoying local treats.

In the afternoon, we went to Camel’s Back Road, named after a rock that looks like a camel’s hump. The winding road gave us stunning Himalayan views, great for photos and relaxation.
