GUN HILL - MUSSOORIE
Significance: Second Highest Point in Mussorie
Accessibility: Ropeway or Trekking
Gunhill is the second highest point in
Mussoorie. To access Gunhill, there are two
ways. The first one is to begin trek from court complex on the Mall road.
This path takes you to Gunhill in about 20 minutes.
The second way to Gunhill is via the Ropeway. The ropeway has more thrill
and excitement than the trek (or should we say that both have their own
fun). The journey from the ropeway to Gunhill is 400 meters. The ride on
the trolley gives an unalloyed pleasure which cannot be described in
words.
From Gunhill, one gets a very different view of Mussoorie. And it looks
different each time you look at it. A different scene appears before your
eyes each moment. There are many shops on the hilltop so this is an ideal
place to rustle up a small picnic.
It is said that before Independence a cannon was kept here. This cannon
was fired every day at noon and people knew what exactly has been the
time. Due to the cannon this place was called Gunhill.
