Kempty
Falls The
most popular and a must see destination around Mussoorie are the
Kempty Falls. Situated about 15 km from Mussoorie on the Yamunotri
route the place is home to lovely falls where one can even have a
nice cool dip at the base of the falls. The place gets quiet crowded
during season months of May and June. They are going to put a trolly
soon to reach the base of the falls from top.
Yamuna
bridge Go along the
road to Kempty for about 10 km to Yamuna pul the place where Yamuna
cuts across the mountains to provide a very scenic picnic spot
(could be better if developed well) along with angling opportunities
(provided you get a license).
Dhanolti About
25 km from Mussoorie, this hill station still in it's developing
stage and therefore and unspoilt and beautiful. No markets, no
concrete only tall pine trees , green meadows and fruit orchards
greet you as you reach this scenically perfect destination. You also
have picture perfect views of the snow clad Himalayas on a clear day
to keep you company. It makes sense to combine your stay in
Mussoorie with that in Dhanolti, but since you do not have any
worthwhile hotels in Dhanolti, you can cover it by a day trip from
Mussoorie or Chamba. (Camps around Dhanolti)
Chamba
About 50 km from
Mussoorie is the smal hilll town of Chamba, Uttaranchal(of course
don't confuse it with Chamba in Himachal). Again really unspoiilt
and with lot of pines and deodar and good views. A real cool place
to relax. More on Chamba/Chamba
Resorts
Kanatal Midway
between Dhanaulti and Chamba the place is again a small hill village
at a height of 2700m and having heavy snow fall in winter and
remaining quiet cool even in peak summers. More

Dehradun
is the capital of
present day Uttaranchal and one has to pass through it to reach
Mussoorie. Dehradun has a become a business hub with lot of
commercial activity. There are also a lot of tourist places in and
around Dehradun. More..
