The view of the rolling hills from Landour. It's surreal, here! I love to get some black coffee from Cafe Ivy at Char Dukkan while enjoying the view from the café, and then I head off on a walk along the "chakkar" to get to this spot where I relish on some peace, quiet and happiness. It might be the same routine for me when it comes to this route, but this spot and this view is always calling out to me. And, I just cave!
Beautiful Sunset #sunset #moutain
The "hills" of Mussorie are the base of the Himalayan mountains. This rural area of India is beautiful and rich with culture.
