Full Day Excursions:

Trek to Surkanda Devi temple:
Drive to the starting point of the trek to Surkanda Devi temple. At 10,000 feet, this temple is the highest point around Mussourie. One has to walk up a hill for about 1.5-km from the road to reach this temple.
 
The temple is dedicated to Parvati, Shiva's consort. According to mythology, Parvati, angry at her father for not receiving her well at a yagya (religious ceremony) that he was performing, jumped into the yagya fire. Legend has it that as Shiva was carrying away Parvati's body; her head fell down at this spot, making it a holy place.
 
The temple offers some marvellous views of the Himalayas make the steep climb up well worth it J. A three-day religious fair is held every year in May, when hundreds of pilgrims visit this temple. After exploring the area we walk back to the road and drive back to camp.

Trek to Dandachali:
Drive to Chaunrikhal on the road to New Tehri. New Tehri has been built to replace the old Tehri town ship that will be submerged once the Tehri Dam comes up. Start the 3-hour walk towards Dandachali, passing the Pantnagar Agricultural University Campus en route.
 
This is quiet walk through forests with some phenomenal views of the valley and the Himalayas. Dandachali at 1830 m has a good campsite in the middle of a pine forest. After a picnic lunch, the more adventurous can walk up to a ridge where one can get the best view in the region of the Garhwal Himalayas. Return to Chaunrikhal by evening and drive back to camp.

Visit to Chamba:
Drive for abourt 12 kms to reach the local bustling bazaar of Chamba of Uttaranchal. The upcoming township of Chamba situated at a height of about 1676 mts. provides a panoramic view of the Himalayas and Bhagirathi valley from above. The Chamba-Mussoorie fruit belt is also famous for its delicious apples.
 
Visit the township of New Tehri:
The district headquarters of Tehri Garhwal is a recent development. It will soon become an important centre of attraction on the completion of the dam at Tehri when the huge lake will become a picturesque spot. Facilities are being developed here.
