  2. Cable Car

    From midway along the Mall, a cable car runs up to Gun Hill (2530m), which, on a clear day, has views of several peaks, including Bandarpunch. A steep path also winds up to the viewpoint. The most popular time to go up is an hour or so before sunset and there’s a minicarnival atmosphere in season with kids’ rides, food stalls, magic shops and honeymooners having their photos taken dressed up in Garhwali costumes.

  6. Tavern

    A favourite place to dine and hang out, the Tavern boasts a global range of food from crispy roast lamb to Goan fish curry and just about everything in between.

  7. Jawahar Aquarium

    Just up from the cable-car station, this aquarium is Mussoorie’s newest attraction. What may be Uttarakhand’s only escalator takes you to eight modest but well-presented tanks containing tropical fish, tiny sharks and red piranha.

  8. City Point Restaurant

    This small wood-panelled place is one of several shoehorned into the road above the bus stand. Great for breakfast or a quick snack, but also does curries and dishes such as kadhai chicken (wok-fried chicken curry) for dinner.
