MUSSOORIE THE QUEEN OF HILLS When I was a little girl I remember our summer vacations with my parents and siblings. Our all time favourite route was Delhi to Haridwar Mussoorie and Dehradun. It was all about enjoying  good time with each other and all these wonderful moments are now a beautiful memory. All that fun we had on our way stopping by for a small waterfall or may be picking some raw mangoes hanging from the trees with my sisters and our Dad helping us just to see a smile on our face. My precious memories with my family is unforgettable  The very thought of mountains and water make me feel so happy.  After a very long time I once again visited Mussoorie to refresh my memories but this time for work related. The distance from Dehradun to Mussoorie is approximately 35 kilometres and from New Delhi the distance is 290 km. We were travelling by road to enjoy the scenic beauty and also can stop whenever or wherever we wish to stop . Mussoorie is a hill station and a m...

But must talk about Chandni Chowk, one chaotic place to shop may not be an easy place to walk around but is one of the most fascinating corners for shopping is so much fun here as you can shop as per your budget and at the same time get stuff of your choice. Be prepared for long walks in the narrow super crowded place. It is a famous place when shopping for wedding...
