The Fanny Parkes Room at Ilbert Manor, Mussoorie

Posted on July 6, 2011

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 a slow connection and cannot watch a video or even otherwise find videos a pain, here is a still from my room.

    View is good, but room looks like it belongs in a museum rather than a place to spend a night during vacation…

    Wonder if this is the same place where Fanny Parkes stayed when she visited Mussoorie …. but I thought she used to smoke!
