Landour
Landour is a completely different Mussoorie. It's the upper part of town, a former British cantonment, where old houses, churches, and narrow roads among the pines have been preserved. Fewer people, more space, and better mountain views.
There's less lodging, and it's more expensive, but this is exactly where you feel the old character of the place. People who come to Landour usually aren't seeking entertainment; they're seeking the feeling of the town itself. The atmosphere is quieter, more contemplative, and filled with the scent of cedar and old books.
Here, the choice of neighborhood determines your entire experience.
