Into India
... (no, i did not ride on the back of an oversized Japanese man) Until you've take a sumo, you haven't really experienced India-- let me explain... take a normal looking jeep, and then cram at least four people into the front plus the driver and unlimited ...

Extreme Bus Rider
In the Himalayas and cold. After the most terrifying bus ride yet up the Himalayan foothills, I am safely in a town called Mussoorie. Mussoorie is perched on top of a mountain at an elevation of 6,000 feet with the Himalayas towering above. From my ...
Mussoorie
We are in Mussorie, which is a hill station in the foothills of the Himalayas. It was a British tourist town from the 1940s. In a weird way it reminds Sandi of Clear Lake. The resorts must have been nice at some point, but they do not look to have ...
Two Months In, Back in the Big City
... was cooped up inside for a while due to the rains and my Hindi final, but in our last weekend I did explore some parts of Mussoorie that I think are worthy of note. For one, there is the ferris wheel. I know what your thinking--'You Crazy? Wha yall ...
Safe in Mussoorie

How to Learn Hindi in 2.5 Weeks
Language training began on Monday, and so far it's going much more smoothly than I expected! Our group of 12 broke up into small classes of 4 people each for our Hindi lessons, so we all get lots of practice. We have four 45-minute ...

Getting High
... explore the town on our own, as Abhas & Shubu decided to stay for a bit and watch the end of the match. Mussoorie is built along a mountain ridge, resulting in stunning views on both sides. Unfortunately it was quite hazy, so we couldn’t ...
Rocky road, but at last away from the noise
The windy journey up here took only 3 hours but was tough, on Clare as we had to stop twice to err - decorate the side of the road. Poor girl has had a funny tummy since we arrived. She is being very brave though and soldiering on. I have been buying her ...
An Indian Hill Station
... closing the road at right. (It's not like we are trying to find trouble… google tuskers in Rishikeh) We arrived in Mussoorie around 12:30 about 2 ½ hours after leaving Rishikesh. As the taxi was not allowed to bring us right to the hotel (many of ...
Freezing
... the foot of the Himalya - a perfect spot for a pot of chai and some deep philosophical as well as spiritual conversations... Overall, Mussoorie seems like it will be one of those places that calls to me long after I leave it, gently asking and reminding ...
Tiger Camp, Corbett Tiger Reserve!
Spent an amazing 3 days in Tiger Camp - a nice resort in Corbetts Tiger Reserve with the hope of seeing Tigers! We did 5 jeep safaris over 3 days, either late afternoon or very early morning, when the animals were most active! Very exciting because we ...
from delhi to mussoorie
... 30 seconds of silence just to take in the beauty and in that 30 secs we could hear the call to prayer from a mosque in mussoorie. As I right this I realize how cheesy it sounds but this was just too much... the craziest part is that we're gonna see it ...
Riding the rails, Part I
... bit nervous about the train ride, since I've been in some pretty chaotic train stations and had heard that the trains in India have rows of seats literally on top of eachother. However, my train riding experience was as smooth as they ...
Day 23
... too, so no loss. Friday was spent with Goldie and Summer (the two girls we went to Rishikesh and Haridwar with) down in Mussoorie. We spent it shopping and looking around. I like Mussoorie a lot actually. It's a small town with just one main road ...
Last Day of Language School!
We just finished our final and we are now heading into town. Just a quick update because we are going back to Delhi tomorrow and I don't know the next time I'll have internet access will be. We both felt pretty good about our final. ...
Himalayan Heaven
After arriving in Dehra Dun and all our little conferences and form signing, we were informed that the girls and I would be lumped together for the next entire month....at first I was irritated, but they would soon grow on me... We were also told that ...
Day 10
We are now in Mussoorie. The trip for Delhi to Mussoorie was unnecessarily long, about 12 hours. We hit two hours of traffic on the way where we were basically at a stand still. And for no apparent reason. I guess some things don't ...
Day 28
... called "Landour Bazaar" that's where I got my shirts made. It helps to zoom out then you can see the larger part of Mussoorie, where all the restaurants, bars, shops, and the ATM are. That's how far we have to walk to go get some more ...
Day 20
... town in India? We asked him if he had ever been to the states and he said "no I'm just a hillbilly I've only been to Mussoorie and Delhi my whole life." It was so funny, he said he had just picked it up somewhere. Also the guys at the ...
Resting days waiting for the big step

The city on the hill
... car from the hotel is waiting to take us to the hotel which is on the hill. Even in the summer I can feel the cold breeze. Mussoorie is famous for vacation so it has a lot of restaurant and hotel there. After checking in the hotel, we go to walk around ...
The Zen of Mussoorie
Hi everyone! I'm settling into the Mussoorie routine pretty quickly, with school and meals giving the days here their shape. We wake up at 7, breakfast at around 7:40, and at a little after 8 we leave for class. We have four classes each day which ...
Punch Pooper no returns
