Having a bike trip to Himalayan roads is a “Dream come true “for every bike enthusiast. My group had been planning for this from past few months. We desperately wanted to go somewhere on bike. Finally, after brainstorming for months, we all came to a common decision and decided to celebrate Christmas in mountains. For this we decided to go to Mussoorie, the queen of hills and I believe there couldn’t be better place for this. It was the month of December, freezing cold but nothing came in our way as we are were determined.

Mussoorie is around 290 km away from Delhi and it takes around 6-7 hours to reach. We decided to start early morning so that we can reach there in evening and rest for the day.

Finally, the day has come we all gathered and started from Dilshad garden Delhi. I was very excited as this was my first ever bike trip to any destination outside Delhi and I was thrilled as well, as this was into great Himalayas which everyone dreams of.

The journey begins, 2 avenger , 1 RS 200 , 1 Apache 200 and 5 of us. I was filled with joy and excitement. Our bikes were loaded with luggage and fuel.

Our first halt was Amrik Sukhdev Dhaba Sonipat. We took a halt there and had tummy full lunch there. We took a halt of around 30 minutes and we started again.

Finally, the moment has come for which I always dreamed of, after riding around 150 or so Km’s I could easily see the great Himalaya’s. I was thrilled. The road which led to these mountains has already pumped my adrenalin. I was mesmerized by seeing the beauty of nature. We had mountains one side and Valley another side. I was feeling the slash of pure air on my whole body.

Finally, we reached Mussoorie. I felt every word true which I had heard about this place. The place was so calm, so chill. I felt my soul refreshed.

We reached our cottage in the late evening and we deiced to rest for the day.

Note : if you go Mussoorie during any festival time please do bookings in advance.

In night the cottage owner arranged bonfire for us. As it was freezing cold night this came as boon. We started playing soothing music, ordered delicious food and enjoyed bonfire as well. It made whole environment filled with vibrations. Everything looked perfect and refreshing.

Day 2

Day 2 : Gun Hill

Next day we woke up early in the morning and had awesome breakfast. Today we decided to explore Mussoorie and for this we choose to go to Gun hill. Gun Hill is the second highest point in the entire area of Mussoorie standing tall at an altitude of 2024 meters. the scene from the top of this hill is a panoramic view of the snow-clad Himalayan ranges right beside the widespread Doon Valley and a full view of the hill station of Mussoorie. The Gun Hill, located 400 ft above the Mall Road, is a popular attraction, especially amongst the photographers and nature lovers. The hill was named so because of the presence of a gun at these hills during the pre-independence days. The gun was fired during the day to enable people to adjust their watches during those days.

You can reach to top of Gun Hills either by walk of by a ropeway car. We decided to climb up by walk.

It took 2-3 hours to reach to the peak and believe me when you reach the top you feel so relaxed, you even forget the tiredness of climbing up. It provides mesmerizing view of the city from the top. You can even see the Great Himalayan’s mountain ranges from here clearly. We stayed there for couple of hours, enjoyed food, beauty of nature as planned we took rope-way car and came back.

In the afternoon we took rest and evening we decided to go to mall road and explore the city. I can easily say that the mall road is the lifeline of this city. This always remains the center of attraction for all the tourists who come there. This road seems lively. We enjoyed local street food and did shopping. There was some program held up as this was Christmas time, we enjoyed that function as well. Lot’s of phadi people showcasing their culture, music and heritage. It was so exciting and amazing.

We came back to our cottage late night and had our dinner. Next morning, we headed back to Delhi. Mussoorie Justifies the saying “ Queen of hills”.
