It is exactly half way on the bridle path between Rajpur and Mussoorie. With its temperate climate (temp. ranging between 340 C - 20C) swirling mist amidst downpours, glorious sunsets with the unique 'Winter line' stretching over the Shiwalik busy campus life is indeed amply compensated by natures breathtaking & awesome facets & the belief that "this is life - We have time to stand & stare".
