DAY 3: FULL DAY SIGHTSEEING IN MUSSOORIE

After breakfast, start your day with a visit to Kempty Falls, a popular waterfall where you can enjoy the scenic beauty and relax. Next, head to Lal Tibba, the highest point in Mussoorie, renowned for its stunning views and pleasant sunrise and sunset. Note that Lal Tibba is situated at an altitude of 7460 ft. above sea level, and you will need to hire a local cab from Mall Road to reach it as our vehicle cannot go up the hill. Lal Tibba is also known as Depot Hill due to the presence of a depot here and a camp of the Indian Military services, All India Radio, and Doordarshan. The best time to visit is during the summer months of March and June, while travel during the monsoon should be avoided due to leeches.

After Lal Tibba, visit Gun Hill, the second-highest peak in Mussoorie, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the Doon Valley. Proceed to Camel’s Back Road for a serene walk with beautiful views. Continue to Mussoorie Lake, a man-made lake ideal for boating and relaxation. If time permits, explore Bhatta Falls, a trekkers’ paradise requiring a short trek to reach.

In the evening, enjoy shopping and exploring local markets at Liberty Bazaar and Mall Road. Return to your hotel for an overnight stay.

Note: Mussoorie is a beautiful hill station offering more than just sightseeing. To fully experience its charm, consider indulging in hiking, adventure activities, or a food tour rather than trying to cover every scenic point.
