Mussoorie
The 'Queen of the Hills' rides a great ridge above the Doon valley, wrapped in oak and deodar with the snow range visible on clear winter days. Mall Road, Landour lanes and hill viewpoints make it the most loved weekend hill station near Dehradun.
Landour
Landour is Mussoorie's quieter upper cantonment — colonial cottages, deodar lanes and the famous bakeries of Char Dukan above a sea of hills. Ruskin Bond's home patch and the loveliest walk in the district.
Dhanaulti
Dhanaulti's quiet eco-parks and cedar forests sit on the Mussoorie–Chamba ridge, far quieter than its famous neighbour. Mist, pine walks and mountain camps define this easygoing hill escape.
Kanatal
Kanatal is a high meadow camp country between Dhanaulti and Chamba — apple orchards, starlit tent stays and forest trails. Its quiet roads are among the most scenic drives out of Dehradun.
