And right up there on the “wow, nature really showed off here” list is Mussoorie —also lovingly (and confusingly) called Masuri by some.   🌄 Mussoorie: Where Even Your Stress Takes a Vacation With a cozy population of around 47,699, Mussoorie is that chill hill station where clouds casually walk past you like they own the place.
