Top 10 Cottages in Mussoorie: what to know

Mussoorie is a long ridge town, so where you sleep decides how you spend the day. The Mall Road between Library Chowk and Kulri is the lively centre, with shops, cafes and the evening walk; Library Chowk and Charleville, at the western end, are older and a little calmer; Camel's Back Road and Gun Hill are for slow evening strolls; Landour and Char Dukan, to the east, are quieter, with old cottages and bakeries; Barlowganj and Jharipani sit on the slopes below; and the Kempty Road runs out towards Kempty Falls, with many of the resorts and views. On busy weekends and holidays the Mall Road area gets crowded, so ask your stay how far a car can go and how much of the way is on foot.

  • Most top 10 cottages are in Kempty Road (4), Mall Road & Kulri (2), Landour & Char Dukan (1).
  • 2 have a star rating, including 0 five-star and 1 four-star.
  • 4 (50%) allow pets.

Coming up from the plains? Compare stays in Dehradun (about 35 km down the hill road), see stays in Rishikesh (about 80 km away by road, through Dehradun), look at our own handpicked homestays, or send us your dates and we'll suggest a stay.

Our area lines are drawn with a local's pencil, not a surveyor's, so a stay near the border might sit one neighbourhood over. Rates jump on weekends, long weekends, school holidays and the summer rush, so give the property a quick check before you pack.
