Our journey of Mussorie started with Kempty falls which is around 15 kms from Mussorie. We took the Govt. tourist bus that runs from Mussorie to Kempty (The frequency of these buses is to be appreciated). It took us through the valleys and the mountains of Himalayas. One cannot stop awing looking at the huge humungous giant Himalayas. (I can say Mount Alps is nothing before our Himalayas).
The bus takes you up till a point and further down is the Kempty falls.

The falls was ok types and one who had not visited Kutralam
(Tamil Nadu) or Athirapalli falls (Kerala) can only appreciate this. :)
On our way back to Mussorie, we had informed the driver to stop in the middle so that we could get down to “Company Bagh” a nicely maintained garden. We go
t down from the bus taking the directions and believing the words “paas hei to hai company bagh”. We started walking, walking and were still walking (around 6 to 7 kms I should say) and not a single trace of a garden. Every other person you ask for directions say, “its very near by”. But the walk was too good. It was slightly sunny and a mild cold breeze from the mountains blowing on your face is what made it perfect. And finally we reached... It was a garden maintained by the “Lords” when the East India Company was ruling Mussorie. But even after they have left, it is neatly maintained.
There were some small tea shops within the garden. After our long walk we were too hungry that we ordered almost everything edible in the shop :)
We finally managed to reach Mussorie from Company Bagh. We then took the rope way which would take you to a height of 7000ft from sea level. (Mussorie is 6000 ft above sea level).
As it was already getting dark, we packed up to go home after arranging for a new mode of transport to visit “Laal Tibba” the next day. Want to know what it is?? Wait for some time as I have got some work to complete by today otherwise my manager is going to sit on my head :(
