(Uttarakhand)


Himalayan Gem

The winding roads from Dehradun take you all the way up, amidst the tall deodars, and the pines. The wayside flowers nod their heads as the cool breeze pass through them. And just as you thought the road winds all the way up, you reach the top. Beyond, you see the snowcapped Himalayas, and down in the valley you see the holy rivers of Ganges and Yamuna gushing happily down through the foothills. Welcome to Mussoorie. Despite being a sea of humanity, she still retains a mystic charm.
