We took the train from Delhi to Dehradun. It departed from Delhi at 8 am. I get the the ticket for air-conditioned seat include meal. When the train start, they serve us tea and snack. Tea is the main drink for Indian people. You can see that they can drink tea all day. My favorite tea is Masala Tea which has the spicy mixed in it. The meal on the train is good, actually I cannot remember what I take but it's vegetarian and paratha. When being in India, I prefer vegetarian food and paratha, naan or roti than rice as it's more favour.
We arrived Dehradun on 2 pm. The car from the hotel is waiting to take us to the hotel which is on the hill. Even in the summer I can feel the cold breeze. Mussoorie is famous for vacation so it has a lot of restaurant and hotel there. After checking in the hotel, we go to walk around and I found the omelet food stall with the menu in Thai language. The city is very beautiful and cover with fog. As it's summer time in India so people come here so much because the weather here is cooler.
I took the cable car which had to wait for an hour to going up to the top of the hill and it's worth as I feel that it's very beautiful. Unfortunately, I cannot see the Himalayan. If the sky is clear, I can see it. Himalayan is the one my dream destination.
After back from the hill station, we walked back to the hotel and taking some rest before dinner. One of the good thing here is we don't have to use the vehicle when roaming around the city. The dinner buffet held in hotel. Mostly is Indian food and important dish is salad. The food is delicious. After dinner I have the night walk in the hotel garden. It's very cold but it's fresh.
Next morning after breakfast in hotel, we hired the taxi to take us to the waterfall, temple and lake. The waterfall is fulled with people so I don't have the idea to go inside the water but it's beautiful one. Also the temple situated on the hill and we have to walked up so high but all tired gone when I reach the temple. Then we head to the lake which has a lot of people too. Then the rain is dropping so we decide to go back to the hotel to prepare ourselves for the dinner.
Second day we decide to have dinner in the restaurant named Green restaurant. The small simple restaurant but big favor so it's become our restaurant for the rest of the trip.
I fall in love with this place and don't want to leave this small city.

Hi Chinois Gal, honestly I have never heard of this hill station, thank you for the information. It seems to be very cold and the waterfalls look lovely. Thank you for the information.
I went there is summer so it's not too cold. I think it will be more in the winter.
