I used to consider Mussoorie a mainstream destination. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against mainstream destinations, it is the crowd they attract that I don’t enjoy. But after experiencing the JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Trail I know how to do off beat things around Mussoorie! The trip happened in early October with the…

Breakfast by the Stream with JW Marriott Mussoorie
As I was getting down to the stream near the Himalayan Adventure Institute I was happy to walk. There is something about the uneven mountain road, it immediately sets me at peace. I was completely engrossed in figuring out where to put my next feet for ten minutes or so! As I approached the end…
Hari Mirch ki Pakori

The Cemetery at Mussoorie

Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie- The Corner that I Loved Most

The Fanny Parkes Room at Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuuGvX396A I stayed at the Fanny Parkes room at the Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie. It has one of the best views at the entire property. And I specially liked the no smoking sign that said “no one has smoked here since 1840, we would appreciate your keeping the tradition alive.” For those of you who are on…
