Himalayas


Shivalik  Range 


The Shivalik range of the Himalayas is the lowest level of Himalayan mountains also considered the outer Himalayas.

 In India, it varies from the Indus river to the Brahmaputra river (i.e. from J&K to Mizoram).

 The Shivalik range of the Himalayas in Dehradun, has a vast area,
as from the seen the picture, it views an area from Herbetpur, Selaqui to Narendra Nagar, Rishikesh.
the whole area comprises many small villages and specially Mussuriee.
From the foothills of Mussoorie, Jakhan (starting portion of Rajpur )can also be seen 
from on the spot.

Some portion of these mountains is also a part of the Himachal range( 2nd layer/level of the Himalayas)......

Huge Mountains with eternal stories

City on the Mountain


Rajpur
Daytime view of Mussuriee from Rajpur


Also known as " Pahado ki Rani", is a beautiful destination, just above the Doon valley(i.e. 35 km from the main city), having lovely views of the down valley and the above higher mountains and the hills. The name given to the area is because of the shrub, named "Mansoor", founded over here, further called Mussuriee by the local people.


Even the 14th Dalai Lama, during Tibetan Rebellion, the Central Tibetan Administration was firstly founded in Mussuriee, before shifting to Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh in 1959 and the first Tibetan school was founded in Musurriee. Today around 5,000 Tibetan lived here.......

The place has its highest point known as "Lal Tibba"   giving a heavenly view to the viewers.
