Useful tips

For those with more time, we recommend visiting Gun Hill, the second-highest point in Mussoorie, or trekking in the surrounding forest. For those with less time, we suggest skipping Mussoorie Lake and going straight to Lansdowne, as there are limited places to see in Lansdowne. It is advisable to book a private taxi or rent a car to navigate between destinations as public transport is limited.
