Overview

Gun Hill in Mussoorie

Gun Hill is the second highest hill in Mussoorie.  At a height of 2, 024 meters, this hill can be reached via the cable car.  It is believed that Gun Hill lies on an extinct volcano.

​

Located just 400 ft above the Mall Road, Gun HIll is a popular place for viewing the Himalayan Range and the Doon Valley. It takes a 20-minute walk from the Mall Road to reach the top.  The ropeway is the more preferred method of reaching the top as it offers a scenic view of the Himalayan range.  The Cable Car starts from Jhula Ghar on the Mall Road.  Gun Hill takes it's name because prior to Independence, there was a gun placed on the hilltop.  The gun used to be fired at midday so that people could adjust their watches accordingly.  In place of the gun, the hill has a water reservoir which serves the city of Mussoorie.  

​

Enjoy a cup of tea at the nearby tea stalls or a meal at a restaurant while you are there.

The Cable Car tickets are priced at Rs. 75 for a round trip  and it is operational from 10 am to 6 pm.
