Some travel to India for adventure and some for peace and relaxation. If you’re the latter, then Landour, with all its splendor and nature-healing power, is your ideal destination. Unlike its twin town Mussoorie, which is bursting with touristy things to do, Landour is calm and discreet. It’s certainly another reason to love India. People go to this Himalayan town to think, reconnect with nature, and have some quiet time. Though it lacks in main attractions, it has a few local spots you shouldn’t miss, including the historic Church of St Paul, Prakash Store makers of delicious jams and marmalade, the secluded Char Dukan area - a hub of vintage shops, - and more. To best experience this small town, make sure to book one of the best Airbnb vacation rentals near Landour, Mussoorie, India.
Traveler's tips
While Mussoorie is overly crowded and touristy at most times, you can leave behind its jam-packed streets by taking a hike or a small drive to Landour. On the couple of occasions I have been to Mussoorie, the photo walk to Landour was surely one of the best things. If you do visit Landour, don't forget to try the desserts and coffee at Landour Bakehouse.
