Clouds End is located about 7.5 km away from Mussoorie Library road. With clouds drifting away like fleeting ships at the harbour, the beauty of Clouds End Mussoorie makes the heart skip a beat.
This sultry alpine beauty stands aloof in the midst of tall conifers, that remains blanketed by the cottony clouds. Unlike other tourist places in Mussoorie that bustles with human activity, Cloud’s End is a place that offers peace and tranquility.
- Apart from the green foliage, Cloud’s End portrays the beauty of English architecture. One can see the remnants of British colonialism in the form of a rustic heritage building, which stands here frozen in time.
- This building was built by the British officer, Major Swetenham in 1838. It is one of the oldest buildings in Mussoorie. It is now refurbished into a heritage hotel known as the Cloud’s End Forest Resort.
