Lal Tibba

Lal Tibba is the highest point in the region with an altitude of about 2290 m / 7500 ft and offers magnificent views of the surrounding hills. Lal Tibba translates to Red Hill. The hill is named so because of the beautiful sunrise and sunset views, which turns the surroundings into red color.

Views from Lal Tibba

On a clear day, you can get a glimpse of some of the popular hills of the area which includes Kedarnath, Badrinath, Banderpunch, Chaukhamba, Nanda Devi and Sri-Kanta peaks. As some of these peaks are over 200 km away, it is difficult to identify the peaks. To aid the visitors to get a glimpse of these peaks, a coin operated binoculars is installed on top of a small cafe. The cafe charges some nominal amount to the visitors to give access to their terrace where the binoculars is located.

Lal Tibba is located in the Landour region of Mussoorie and supposedly the oldest inhabited place in the region. Landour was initially built by the British for the British Indian Army. It mainly acted as a medical facility station for long term illnesses of the British Indian Army. Due to this reason, the town was referred as a convalescent depot for the army, and Lal Tibba is also called as Depot Hill.
