From the Mall you may take a ropeway and visit the Gun Hill, so called because of the guns kept atop the hill in the old days and fired at mid-day to denote the time. From the Gun Hill you can experience the magical view of the great Himalayan peaks and a bird's eye view of Mussoorie.

The Camel's Back Road in Mussoorie is another must-see. The road owes its name to its shape which is curved like the back of the ship of the desert. The Camel Back Cemetry is the place where the first settlers of the hills, memsahibs, and some of their children were laid to rest. Australian novelist John Lang, who worked as Charles Dickens' correspondent, is also buried here. Fredrick Wilson known for his marriage to a Harsil girl, which earned him the name Pahadi Wilson, also rests here. Alfred Hindmarsh is another prominent name, a survivor of the charge of the light brigade during the Crimean War.

While holidaying in Mussoorie you may picnic at the Lal Tibba, the highest point in Mussoorie. Lal Tibba is located in the Landour area which is the oldest inhabited place in Mussoorie.

Walk through Landour Bazaar and halt at Char Dukan for some cold coffee. This shop, frequented by Ruskin Bond sports copies of his books for sale. The walk around Sisters Bazaar is referred to as the chakkar and has several quaint looking cottages amidst pine, deodar and oak forests. In fact while at Sisters Bazaar, enjoy the wide variety of brown bread, cheese bread, cheddar cheese, peanut butter, and a wide assortment of jams and bakery products, at the several food joints available.

The Municipal Garden or the Company Bagh and the Clouds’ End are the other sites worth visiting in Mussoorie. The hill resort of Mussoorie is famous for its academic institutes too. The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Waverley Convent, Wynberg Allen School, Saint George's, Woodstock, Hampton Court, Indo-Tibetan Border Police Academy and the Defense Institute of Work Studies are few of the institutional landmarks in Mussoorie.
