A Visit To A Hill Station – Essay in English

Last month my school took us all for a trip to Dehradoon and Mussoorie. About 150 students went in two buses. Some of our teachers were also accompanying us. We took our overnight cases along with some eatables and set off with great enthusiasm.

We reached Dehradoon after a journey of six hours from Delhi. We had been singing and dancing all the way and were very tired. We were first taken to Sahastra Dhara. All our tiredness vanished after a refreshing dip in the cold waterfall. It is said that its waters can cure bath very much.

After our lunch, we went to the famous Forest Research Institute. We marveled at the wealth that our forests had to offer to us. We also learned the valuable lesson of how important it was for us to conserve our forests. We all resolved to use paper more carefully and to plant trees as soon as we went back to Delhi.

The road from Dehradoon to Mussoorie was full of hairpin bends and the rise was dizzying. We checked into a hotel for the night. The next day we saw all the beautiful sights of Mussoorie-the Kempty Falls, Gun Hill and Company Garden. We loved walking along the quaint streets of Mussoorie and enjoying the view from the mountain top. The crowd and dirt of Delhi seemed very far away. We also did some shopping at the Mall Road.

Our buses reached Delhi the next morning after an exhausting but memorable trip. The photographs that I took along with my friends will always remind me of our visit of Dehradoon and Mussoorie.
