Camel’s Back Road Mussoorie India

Besides Mall Road, there is another road which goes from Kulri to the Library Bazar. By the side of the Neelam Restaurant in the heart of Kulri, a narrow lane leads to the old Skating Hall. Turning round the Skating Hall this lane joins the famous Camel’s Back Road.

The Camel’s Back Road, a 2.4 Km. (1J mile) long winding path at the back of the town, is one of the most beautiful places in Mussoorie. It is ideally suited for horse riding, hiking and for those who prefer to walk on a plain road. A long evening walk along this road through cool and beautiful glades of conifers, oak and rhododendrons, stamps a happy impression on the mind of the visitor, which he assiduously preserves through the years. The charm of this road reaches its climax in the spring, when it looks .like a bride )decked with wild roses, daisies and rhododendrons.

There are several curves on this road and all along it benches have been provided at several points to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The road is not crowded and affords an ideal opportunity for those who are in search of seclusion and tranquility.

About .4 Km. (two furlongs) from the Skating Hall is Camel’s Back, a hill peak, bearing a close resemblance to that of a sitting carrel. Nearly 1.6 Km. (one mile) further, a bridle path leads to the Bhilaru Pumping Station from where water is pumped on to the Gun Hill Water Reservoir. This road ultimately merges into the Mall Road which leads to the Library Bazar. ‘
