‘An enjoyable romp through Mussoorie’s colourful past.’ —Ruskin Bond In Mussoorie Nostalgia, newspaper columnist Anmol Jain takes you back in time to revisit some of the hill station’s most magnificent splendours as well as hidden gems. This is not your run-of-the-mill travel guidebook with a list of must-see sights and travel advice. This extensively researched book brings to life present-day tourist attractions in a historical context. It has been written by someone who has grown up in the hill town and, more importantly, knows it intimately. Anmol goes wandering around old markets, tripping into Old Brewery, crashing old British parties, greeting ghosts of haunted streets, paying homage to the fallen at Landour Cemetery, peeping into the private letters of the goras and discovering so much more about this legendary town. Inside this book, you’ll discover 🏔 Two centuries of Mussoorie’s history: Trace the evolution of one of India’s most beloved hill stations. 📸 Rare photographs and forgotten stories: Explore a visual and narrative record of Mussoorie’s rich past. 🏛 The colonial legacy of the Queen of the Hills: Uncover the people, institutions and events that shaped the town. 👻 Ghosts, legends and local lore: Journey through haunted streets and intriguing tales from another era. 🏘 Hidden landmarks and overlooked histories: From Landour Cemetery to Old Brewery, discover Mussoorie beyond the guidebooks. 🚶 A local’s intimate perspective: Experience the town through the eyes of someone who knows it best. Why this book matters • Brings Mussoorie’s tourist attractions alive through historical storytelling • Written by a lifelong resident from one of the town’s oldest families • Combines local history, travel writing and cultural exploration • Richly illustrated with antique photographs and archival material A Journey Through the Mussoorie of Yesterday Written with affection, curiosity and a deep sense of place, Mussoorie Nostalgia captures the spirit of a town that has enchanted generations of travellers, writers and dreamers.
