Today, Landour is considered part of Mussoorie, but in the early days it was another hill station - in other words it was the Cantonment and Military area where Captain Young set up the Convalescent Depot. In favt, the centre of Mussoorie was in Library and Happy Valley. Over the years, these two ends converged anf joined up at kulri creating the old promenada, the mall.

However, Landour has kept its unique character - it has escaped the attention of the builders and developers. It is also a home to a number of celebrities and unusual people including a few eccentries. It was always believed that those of us who have lived above 7,000 feet are a little light in the head.

The best known landmarks are Woodstock Sister's Bazaar, Char Dukan and Lal Tibba. From here the long meandering road to Tehri opens out to Dhanolti and up to places of pilgrimage such as Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath.
