We didn’t find the house the remains of which no longer exist we were told but we enjoyed the museum of cartography recently opened to commemorate Everest’s work as Survey General and others. The walk up from the car park is challenging but very beautiful. The view from the top looking north is great but to the south you see nothing due to pollution.

Be prepared for a 1.5 km uphill walk on a paved road. It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes and carry water, as there are no shops along the way. At the top, the view is magnificent, offering a mesmerizing panoramic view of the surroundings. Upon reaching the summit, you'll find a museum and 2-3 small shops selling Maggi and paranthas. In clear weather, the surrounding vistas are truly breathtaking, making the effort to climb worthwhile.

Believe me friends this is one of the most beautiful place to visit in Mussorie. The place has a parking space which cost u round about 100 Rupees and the entry fee to the camp is 200 rupees for per person. U can also go to the peak in your own vehicle but u to had pay extra 1000 for taking your vehicle to the top. In case u don’t want to take your own vehicle then there is a vehicle service who charge u 100 rupees per person for taking u on the peak but they will drop u in return also till 7:00 pm only. The return track is just 1.5 kilometres and I must suggest to return by walking because before 7 u can never view the sunset which is the most important part of the visit. When u reach on the peak u will find the mesmerising beauty and breathtaking views of Mussorie from a 360 degree angle. At the peak there is also the house library of Sir George Everest who was British surveyor and geographer who served as Surveyor General of India from 1830 to 1843. This place must be visited by every tourist. On the peak u can also enjoy Maggie Momos and tea coffee with lots of other things offered by the locals.

I visited this place on my hiking trip to George Everest peak last week. It was an amazing experience. The observertory lies on the way to the peak. The place is really awesome. Thick forests in all sides. The house is extremely well maintained. There is a food court outside. One can have a nice leisure walk to the Everest peak which is around an hour's walk from here. Those visiting mussoorie should make it a point to visit this place. It's hardly half an hour's drive from the city.
