The Far Side of Mussoorie

November 29, 2013

Looking back at Mussoorie from the far side

Looking back at“our house”--the green roofedplace immediatelybelow the TV Tower

Rooflines and turrets on a pallace of the Maharaja of Kapurthala

Is this Chaukhamba, which we saw from Chandrashila? Childers Lodge and the new “Lal Tibba” in Landour are in the foreground.

From “Chaukhamba” to Oaklands Cottage under the TV Tower. Our Landour ridge stretches to the left of the tower.

Nag Tibba to the left and Bandarpunch to the right

Some of the remains of Sir George Everest’s Mussoorie home.

Another angle on the Everest home.

A view that Sir George would have enjoyed—minus the houses on the near ridge.

A little more of Sir George’s view.

Bandarpunch and Nag Tibba, as Everest would have seen them (through binoculars) from his garden.

Looking toward the Everest House from the “Cloud’s End” Road.

There it is on the near ridge, where the two ridges meet

Our trusty “Unicorn” steed.

Forager

A final view of Bandarpunch, still waiting for the winter’s first snowfall. Can you see Kala Nag just behind the higher peak?
