In the queen of hills (MUSSOORIE) lies a secret door to heaven that was undiscovered until Colonel Sir George Everest a Surveyor and a geographer from wales reached the place back in 1865.
The Mount Everest was named after him in his honor by the Royal Geographical Society.
Sir George Everest owned a house in the hill which was also his laboratory. The house has a view nothing less than that of heaven. The house was built back in 1832 and is still intact. Currently the house is under the tourism department and there were several talks of turning the house into a museum.
Being a  resident of Dehradun, George Everest is my personal favorite place to go with friends. The place is a perfect destination for the photographers as it is at a height of more than 7000ft. surrounded by beautiful mountains in the north and a beautiful valley of dun on the other side.
George Everest, the beautiful heavenly peak is just 40 kms. away from the Dehradun city. With no difficulty and in almost an hour and a half time you can reach the destination. The roads are well connected throughout with beautiful curves, cool breeze and awesome view on the sides.
The best thing about the way to Mussoorie are the Maggie points, there are more than 100 Maggie points on the way that serves special Maggie ,tea, coffee, bun-Omelette, bun-makhan  and lots more.
It is definitely a travelers paradise and the beauty of the place will surely make you visit again.
