Where is the closest place to Rishikesh that one can have a good view of the Himalayas?

Question

Is it Mussoorie? Somewhere closer?

Answer 1

www.indiatourism.com

Answer 2

mal.nabanita is a crook... big fraud. Look at all his/her answers. This person seems to be from India. He/She would visit a particular section and then give the same answer to each question: "www.google.com"

Whenever this person visitis the category of Indian tourism the answer to each question is either:

"www.indiatourism.com" or "www.incredibleindia.com"

For answers to the questions in sub-categories in India, the answer would be:

“www.<state>tourism.com” or "www.indiarail.com" etc

This is just the ridiculous way of earning points and violates the yahoo community rules and very irritating too. I have ereported this to yahoo but it seems they are more worried about being takenover by Microsoft.

Please people, let’s all report this person mal.nabanita to yahoo so he/she can be blocked and prevented from ruining this community.

Answer 6

you can take a best view of Himalayas from Palampur, Dharamshala of HP

Answer 7

Rishikesh is the first major point outside himalayan ranges.

so there are many options to view himalaya from viscinity.

Mussorie is of course closest. May be around 120kms away.

another very interesting place is joshimath(250kms) which is a head quarter for amazing trekking places like valley of flowers, hem-kund sahib, Kedarnath, badrinath which are all very interesting places in himalayan range. Don't forget gangotri and Yamunotri.

Answer 8

When you go from Rishikesh towards Mussorie,  beyond Chamba the whole stretch is beautiful with an excellent view of the Himalayas. If you dont like touristy places, about an hour and a half before Mussorie is Dhanolti, a heavenly out of the world place with Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam guest house to stay in.
