More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a road that climbs into cool pine and oak, the valley below retreating into a ribbon of river and village. The day opens at Kempty Falls, where water throws itself down terraced rock and dares you to step in; later the cable car tugs you up to Gun Hill while distant Himalayan ridgelines pace the horizon. Mussoorie moves between brisk mountain weather and the steady pull of tourism, its Mall Road lined with colonial-era facades and street stalls selling chai and local preserves.
