Gun Hill Mussoorie

Gun Hill is one of the highest peaks in Mussoorie and can be easily accessed by a cable car which can be taken from Mall Road. Situated at a height of over 2024 metres, Gun Hill provides a perfect opportunity to spend some quiet time gazing at Doon Valley and the mesmerizing snow-covered peaks of Himalayas. It is some 400 feet above the Mall Road and will take less than 5 minutes to reach via the ropeway. Adventurous types can also go to Gun Hill by foot but it involves a steep climb. Gun Hill used to be a place from where a cannon was shot at the mid of the day, daily, during British Rule, for people to adjust their watches. The popular tourist spot is a perfect vantage point to witness the sun as it sets behind the glorious mountains of Himalayas.
