Things to do in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand: The Best Shopping
Established in the Himalaya foothills by a British Army officer in 1820, the "Queen of the Hills" stands above the rest with its deep woods, favorable climate and Doon Valley views. Its name is derived from the berry-covered Mansur shrub found in abundance around this trekker-friendly area. Vestiges of its colonial past are still reflected in the cuisine and architecture. For stunning natural sights, head to Gun Hill or Childer's Lodge, the two highest peaks, or the famous Kempty waterfall.

Badal Prakash, Inder's grandson, said he grew up hearing stories of the Nehru family visits. "My grandpa often talks about how in 1920s, Motilal Nehru bought cheese at our store. Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi also loved the jams at our store. Jawaharlal Nehru, as my grandfather recalls, liked jams too." There is a mention of the store even in Ruskin Bond's Landour Days

The Mall is major attraction in Mussoorie. Almost every visitor of Mussoorie walks on the beautiful and happening Mall Road which stretches almost 2km from Kulri Bazar, Picture Palace at east side to the Gandhi Statue , Library at the west side. The height of the Mall Road is around 2000m. Vehicles are not allowed on The Mall from 4:30pm to 10:30pm. We paid 150/- to enter after 10:30pm. Everything is there what you expect on The Mall of a hill station. Restaurants, Coffee shops, Fast food counters; readymade garments, woollens, jackets, handlooms; wood articles & utility items, showpieces, toys, electronics, modern buys; games, video parlours, Hotels, Resorts, religious worship places - whatever you think of is available on The Mall. Road side vendors selling pop corns, local fruits are also there. One can spend hours here without tiring. Views of Dehradoon in day time and in night with illuminating lights are amazing. All hills are with green covers of trees. Do not forget to take warm cloths as cool breeze always there to hurt to in shadows. Kadhai Milk in Kulladh (clay glass) at Mussoorie Sweet Shop near Picture Palace is a must have drink.
