Shopping and picnic spots in Mussoorie
Mussoorie |Landour Bazaar is approximately 4 kilometers away from the Mall. The British had built a rejuvenation center here to enjoy the environmental surroundings as they believed the pure air could provide relief from stress and diseases rapidly.
The best place to shop would be the Library Market. This Bazaar is also known as the Gandhi Chowk after the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, which is at one end of the bazaar. There are several shops here for you to shop till you drop.
A Bazaar was named after the nuns who served here as nurses during the British Raj. This is called the Sisters Bazaar. Although there aren’t many shops here and it is more of a residential area, it is still a delightful place to visit. Some famous personalities such as Tom Alter, Victor Banerjee and Dev Anand own cottages in this area. A confectionery shop over here is worth visiting.
