I was on my way to Mussoorie with my brother Anand and his friends. After hunting Dehradun full day, we thought of taking a better look out of the city we hunted. Hence Mussoorie lake came on our radar.

Mussoorie lake, an artificial lake, is very much famous among the family and friends. Boating and para jumping are two things which most people stop on their Mussoorie or way back to Dehradun but what pulls the maximum crowd is the scenic beauty of doon valley from the foothills.

This artificial yet fascinating lake is always crowded but monsoon and this place combine to give you a serene experience of your lifetime. So monsoons are the best season to fall in love with this place.
