I've just returned back from a weekend getaway with my happy family. I wish each day was spent like this...far away from the daily qualms of life and its miserabilities. :0)
Landour and Clouds End are two poles apart hubs in a place called the 'Queen of Hills' - Mussouri. One of the oldest hill stations in India, since years tourists are visiting this place to take a glimpse of its natural beauty (2005.5 mts). Though its been much commercialised to lose that touch and magnificense.
The two places where one can enjoy the most are Landour (We have a 'Landour School of Languages' out there! isn't that amazing) and Clouds end (Now this place is probably towards the west side of Mussouri) Clouds end can be virtually visited at http://www.cloudsend.com May be this can help

Clouds End is centralised on a hill amidst the dark and cloudy forest. We stayed at the Clouds End Resort for a night with a sheet of bright twinkling stars above us! The colonial look to the resort made it more interesting for us to explore the nearby forests. The closest view is called the 'Echo Point' where we shouted loud and heard our echoes. Awesome...isn't it!
Am lucky to have travelled with my family to these beautiful places! Though i still miss my hometown 'Dehradun'...
