The Cemetery at Mussoorie

Posted on September 25, 2011

The last time I went to Mussoorie it was on invitation from Ilbert Manor. On one of my walks on the Camel Back Road, I passed through the Mussoorie Cemetery. It had a small white gate marking the entrance.

I 100% agreed with the notice outside. I do not like plucking flowers and I am so scared of dogs that I had no quarrel with that bit as well.

But the notice didn’t serve much purpose. Don’t go by the open gate in the picture above. This was the second gate. But the first gate was locked and there was no way to enter the cemetery. Still, it looked like a tranquil place.

    It would be scary if a cemetery doesn’t look like a tranquil place, no?! 🙂

    Tarun and Neeraj thanks for highlighting the restful aspect. I agree it would be scary if it was not tranquil! God knows what I was thinking when I wrote this!

    Take a look at my book about Mussoorie. The cemetery features in a major way!
