Hiking around the top of Landour
Jeff and Cole joined a middle-school hike to the top of Woodstock's hill, Lal Tibba. The figure-eight roadway around the top is well-maintained because the Indian military has a large training center here, with buildings spread across the top. The boys are standing near the current public lookout post with the ambitious sign "Highest point in Mussoorie".
And here's a photo of the tree rhododendrons that grow throughout Mussoorie, with gorgeous blooms in March and April. They don't last long, though, because the monkeys find them very tasty!

Further east on the road, along the north side of the hill, is the cemetery where most of the British residents ended up. It is still active, with only a few burials each year.
