Mussoorie

Mussoorie is a hill station located right near the small town of Dehradun in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Originally built by the British as a military post, this mountainous region is now a resort. From atop Mussoorie you can see the valley of Dehradun.

i was a student at the Manor house from 1974-1979, and loved every minute of it, still talk about it to my kids.I am currently in Brisbane , Australia, but still remember the days, when we were given Rs 15 for the outing to town. Rs3 for the movie, Rs 5 for lunch, Rs 2 for the softy, and rest for the comics. Anyone remember that.?

I am a student of M.sc geology in Jammu university. Recently I visit Dheradun and adjoining area in regard of geological field work. I capture some beautiful sites and sences, but these are the best.

have a sepia photograph of mussourie - showing the village and church with mountains in the background - on the back is written - "House where Mother was born and church where she and Father were married - 1892" Charlotte P. Cole. This picture was discovered in and Aunt's house in England. How it came to be in her possession is a mystery - so I am attempting to find more information. Do you know if the English would have been in Mussourie at this date.

Nice pictures. I went to St. George's College (Manor House) from 1976-1982, and now settled in Minneapolis, MN USA. I do visit Mussoorie every time I visit India, once in 3-4 years, and I still miss it.

Hi Steven, great shots of Mussoorie. Changed a lot since I was last there in school back in 1944. I was at St Fidelis's all those years ago. I then joined my two brothers at Goethals Memorial School, Kurseong 1945/47, another Hill Station for us Brits. Drop me a line for a chat. Ray (Bath, UK).

Couldn't help noticing how many of the comments posted here are from those of us who had the good fortune of having been born in Mussoorie or of having lived there. I am from Dehra and have worked at and lived in Mussoorie for several years. Am in Canada now and far away from India and home now, but, like so many others, I miss my Mussoorie immensely. As Ruskin Bond said, if you have lived in the hills for some time, you belong to them, and feel compelled to return to them again and again. Mussoorie becomes a part of your heart and soul. You simply cannot let go.Thanks so much Steven, for taking us homesick Mussoorites on a much needed trip down Memory lane. Lovely pictures!!!

Stanley Keymer		23-May-2007 17:33
Lovely pictures, planning to come and visit next year. Was born in Mussoorie, left for England in 1959. Now living and teaching in Northern Finland. It's funny as I have become older Mussoorie comes to mind more often. Now that it is easy to fly direct to Delhi from Helsinki for 650 euros, can't wait

This is Ajay Rana from Hazaribag second time again here like to comment on the beautiful site of Mussoorie. I have visited this place in the last year of my BSc (Biotechnology) , St. Columba's College, Vonoba Bhave University. This is extremely nice place to visit in the month of june when there is hot climate but you will find mussoorie at its climax of comfortable and cosy weather. Do visit this place to explore the beauty of nature. Thank you. Ajay Rana aard_one@yahoo.co.in ajay_rana@iitb.ac.in

heaven..............da best word to describe mussoorie.keep da city clean n green.we do not want ne mess there.

Sachin		20-Jan-2006 14:19
I grew up in Mussoorie and went to Hampton Court. Since them I have travelled far and wide. Now I am settled in Europe. And been to Switzerland. But the call of Camels back road and the Gun hill trolley ride and the fake sugar cigerettes of Company bagh are things I always remember. That place was wonderul, is a bit commercialized (I visited in 2001). But still, worth visiting. Mussoorie fans drop me email at sachinkagarwal@gmail.com.
