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.

CBD is easily the No-1 book store in the country. A family run independent book shop the owner brothers have deep knowledge on the subject and about Mussoorie based writers. You can easily spend 2-3 hours at the shop browsing through their collection or just chatting with them. They have the best collection of Ruskin Bond books in the country. Every Saturday evening India's favourite author Ruskin Bond comes down to the shop to meet his fans and sign the books for them.
