05 & 06: Dehradun & Mussoorie

Having cached our buss from Rishikesh to Dehradun, and then another bus to the high-altitude village of Mussoorie, we arrived Mussoorie at 6-7 pm. This is a village where the English men, amongst others, went to escape the heat at lower altitude. The roads up to the village were really steep and we climbed from Dehradun for over an hour. The first day we didn't get to see much, only this night view of Dehradun from our hotel room:

Here is the same view at sunrise:

And the night view of Mussoorie:

 The next day, however, we climbed to the top of a hill in the village and got a view of the third highest peak of the Himalayan mountain range. It was an amazing experience to just enjoy the view of the great Himalayan mountain range and drinking sweet Indian Chai, and getting refreshed by the chilly Mussoorie breeze. The peak I'm talking about can be seen on this picture:
