Snowfall @ Mussoorie , Uttarakhand

Tripoto

Mussoorie is situated in the state of Uttarakhand and comes under the district of Dehradun. The hill station is situated in the foothills of the grandgarhwal himlayan ranges.The plethora of sheer beauty that surrounds the place is nothing like anything. It takes us away from the cacophony of our everyday schedules and gives life a new tinge that is graveled by the stone-chips of peace of tranquility. The very air and atmosphere of Mussoorie has that chill and serenity about it that grasps the minds of its visitors and captivates their souls for a time that is longer than what they spend there. Despite the crowd and bustle there’s an unworldly peace surrounding the Queen of Hills.

We started our Journey from Delhi on late night or say early Morning on 24th Jan around 2 AM . The ride was quite chilly but thanks to our gears , we didn't felt much cold. We reached Dehradun around 1 PM and then up at Musso0rie around 4 PM . Our plan was to go up till uttarkashi but due to snow we haveto unpack our bags at mussoorie only. Below are our few snaps from our extreme winter/rain ride :D .
