Sight Address : Landour Bazaar,Mussoorie. Edit
Detail InformationEdit
Landour is a small cantonment town next to Mussoorie. Its old bazaar, 150 years to be exact, sprang up to serve the needs of British soldiers who were sent to the Landour convalescent depot to recover. Today, it continues to be loyal to its locals rather than pandering to the needs of tourists as much of the other markets do. Silversmiths and Shoemakers ply their wares alongside second-hand clothes vendors. Ancient Victorian gadgetry vies for space with the more modern gizmos. Visit the bazaar to pick up necessities as well as some unexpected items. After shopping, stop for some breakfast and cold coffee at Char Dukaan, said to be frequented by Ruskin Bond. They also sell his books here. Landour is also home to the acclaimedWoodstock School, a residential school spread over 250 acres of forest region.
