The Camel's Back Road runs parallel to the bustling Mall Road but provides a different experience with distinct features. While locals recommend morning or evening walks along this route, it's also worth considering if you have the time and energy as a tourist. Stretching 3 kilometers from the Ambedkar statue at Library End to Picture Palace at the opposite end, it offers an alternative to the more crowded Mall Road. The Camel's Back Road is less frequented by tourists and boasts fewer shops, typically only 2-3 Maggi points along its length.
Although the scenic beauty rivals that of Mall Road, the quieter atmosphere and fewer shops might make walking here seem more subdued. However, at the midpoint, there's a viewing point perfect for photographs, which serves as a highlight of the journey. The road is wide enough to accommodate vehicular traffic, allowing visitors to explore by car if preferred.

Contrary to what the name of the road suggests (Camel back), what makes this worth the walk is the natural beauty that you will be able to see. The presence of snow really adds to the charm. Its a comfortable walk (for those who are used to walking) which provides you views of the mountains from Mussoorie, facing away from Dehradun. Unlike the other part of the town which is crowded, this is a peaceful place (at least when we were there in February). Rather than any typical tourist attractions that you see on Mussoorie itinerary, I rate this walk around the quite part of the town higher.

This 3km long road is at back side and opposite of The Mall. This road is named as Camel Back Road due to the presence of natural layout of rocks shaped like a camels hump at the end of road. The Camel’s Back road starts from Ambedkar Status towards the Library on the Mall to The Picture Palace on the RHS of the city. The Radha Swami Satsang Vyas is situated on this road. The Camel Back road is famous for morning and evening walk and cycling. It is not crowded as compared to The Mall. Several hotels, persons cottages and Villas, Resorts are also situated and accessed through this road. Due to repair work on The Mall, we use this road to reach The Club Mahindra on Gun Hill.

A camel shaped rock is visible from camel's back road. Nothing special if you are out for walk on Mall road you can bypass that road to see that one. No need to go specially to see that rock. A person with telescope cost you 30 rs for watching lal tibba, Gangotri glacier and rock though that is mostly blurred but 30 bucks is not much so you can spend to have a look

Camels Back road is a beautiful quiet walk that starts from close to Green restaurant and ends on the Library side. It's a lovely 3 km walk with a beautiful view of the Himalayas. There is also a cemetary that one crosses. Along the walk you see beautiful pine and oak trees and some beautiful birds. One of the best things to do in mussoorie

While the Mall road is almost always choco blocked with tourists and is crowded, few venture towards the Camel back road which is just behind it. This is the more serene and peaceful part of the hill town and it is a nice pleasurable walk amidst the lap of nature. The walk from one end to other will take around an hour. There are many benches along side for you to sit and enjoy the natural beauty.

Located in the heart of Mussoorie, the Camel’s Back Road is around 3 km long road lined with natural rocks shaped like a camel's hump. Camel Back Road provides experience of peaceful walk with nature. However, in morning and evening, the road becomes little bit busy. The road is named as Camel Back Road due to the presence of natural layout of rocks shaped like a camels hump at the end of road. It offers beautiful view of Doon Valley, also popular for viewing sunrise and sunset.

Away from hustle bustle of Mall road is Camel Back Road.
A road less frequented by tourist. Barring a few 'Maggie Points" there is no one around.
Do carry binoculars for a good view of surrounding area.

Please remember when taking a rickshaw that you do not overload the vehicle. I have seen many fat Indians or several trying to fit in the vehicle to save money. The men who have to pull their inordinate weight are poorly paid and no person should use them as a beast of burden. if you are genuinely not able to walk, then take the rickshaw, but remember who is doing the work and that they have to feed themselves and their families.

A one day trip to either place is a bit of a waste. Stay overnight and see the place properly. Don't just add to the crowds.

Can anyone please suggest me what is ideal plan for three days trip to mussoorie
Written December 13, 2017
If you are adventurous type then
Go for camps in adjoining areas and adventure sports. But if you are peace loving and want to relax, then I suggest stay in some peaceful resort like Orchid Resort and enjoy the beauty from top. One day Go for camel back walk, it will take 2-3 hours if you dont rush. Its peaceful slow and picturesque walk. After walk have lunch at any of the good restaurant and then if you feel tired go back to hotel or do some shopping.
Next day go for Campty Falls it will take again 4-5 hours

I have a plan to visit 2nd November to 15th November mussorie-dehradun-hrishikesh-himachal-kasol...can you help me to make travel plan?
Written October 13, 2017
If you want to see the higher reaches of the Himalayas, why not try the upper reaches of Garhwal? From Mussoorie, you can go towards Yamunotri. Rishikesh is the gateway of road leading to Kedar, Badri, Gangotri, Auli, Valley of Flowers. Tehri is a hill station not far from Rishikesh.

i am planning a 3 day trip on 20th to 22nd november but a bit confused about the destination manali or mussoorie which one is going to be a more enjoyable option in november? can someone suggest?
Written October 11, 2017
I have been at both places. If you want more peace and limited area holiday, go to Mussourie. Manali is for adventurous and in the lap of nature. It is less peaceful more crowded, but still Good
