The culture, weather and beauty of Mussoorie are totally different and unique from other hill stations. Mussoorie is a hill station of Uttarakhand. I have traveled to many other hill stations in India with my friends and family, but when I visited Mussoorie for the first time last year, I found that Mussoorie is the best out of them. I have heard people saying that Mussoorie is 'the Queen of Hills' and I also recognized that this is totally true through my visit. On my visit to this beautiful hill station I found a lot of adventure sports activities like river crossing, valley crossing, rappelling, Rock Climbing, Sky Bridge, Sky Walk, bungee jumping and white water rafting here. The weather is always pleasant here.

I with my family spent only three days and two nights vacation in the beautiful hill station. We stayed at Ivy Bank Guest House in Mussoorie. We felt very close to nature here. All the recreational activities we did in these three days refreshed us up from the daily tiresome life. I will share a little information on some of the must watch places in Mussoorie that we visited in our trip.
Our first visit was to Shiv Mandir. This is a very famous temple dedicated to lord Shiva. The next place we visit was Lal Tibba. It can be considered as the top tip of Mussoorie. We got a complete view of the Himalayan mountain ranges from here. We decided to take some rest in the guest house and went out for shopping in the evening. The other places we included in our visit list are SOHAM Heritage & Art Centre, Shedup Choepelling Temple, Mussoorie Christ Church, Nag Devta Temple and Jwala Devi Temple. We also enjoyed watching Kempty Falls and Jharipani Falls. Another must visit place in Mussoorie is Benog Wildlife Sanctuary. This is really a bird-watching heaven and home to several species of exotic birds such as White Capped Water Redstart and Red Billed Blue Magpie. We also had a visit to Happy Valley. There we could see a Tibetan school and a Buddha Temple.
The main tourist spot in Mussoorie that we brothers enjoyed a lot is the Mussoorie Adventure Park. We had great fun there, enjoyed almost all the adventure sports namely Sky Ride- Superman Zip Line, valley crossing, Rock climbing, Rappelling, Zip swing, Rope course, Trekking Camping etc. Really our holiday trip to Mussoorie was unforgettable.
