Mussoorie, Queen Of The Hills

Some photographs of the Plaisance in Mussoorie, where my parents live. The wedding will be held at the Plaisance.

These are photos of the Plaisance in winter (around February). Yes, be ready for the cold there. But most probably, it will be warm during the day, under the sun.

And some photos of the Plaisance when it isn't snowing. We won't see any snow at the end of March, but it will still be a little chilly.

The Plaisance, and Mussoorie, look amazing when it is misty

Some good resources with information on Mussoorie:

The ever-useful Wikipedia

The Uttaranchal official guide - for a quick overview

And one more guide

If you only have a short time in Mussoorie, I'd recommend doing the following:

• Walk along the Mall road. Lots of shopping here
• Visit the Kempty Falls
• Check out the Sir George Everest House - where India's first Surveyor-General had his lab/ house. Guess which mountain is named after him?
• Eat Paranthas at the Chaar Dukaan (literally translated, the 'Four Shops') in Sister's Bazaar
• Visit Surkhunda Devi, and Dhanaulti. The drive reminds me of some parts of Italian Switzerland
