Top 5 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand
Established in the Himalaya foothills by a British Army officer in 1820, the "Queen of the Hills" stands above the rest with its deep woods, favorable climate and Doon Valley views. Its name is derived from the berry-covered Mansur shrub found in abundance around this trekker-friendly area. Vestiges of its colonial past are still reflected in the cuisine and architecture. For stunning natural sights, head to Gun Hill or Childer's Lodge, the two highest peaks, or the famous Kempty waterfall.

You can easily spend 2-3 hours at the shop browsing through their collection or just chatting with them. They have the best collection of Ruskin Bond books in the country.

Badal Prakash, Inder's grandson, said he grew up hearing stories of the Nehru family visits. "My grandpa often talks about how in 1920s, Motilal Nehru bought cheese at our store. Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi also loved the jams at our store. Jawaharlal Nehru, as my grandfather recalls, liked jams too." There is a mention of the store even in Ruskin Bond's Landour Days
