Colonel Frederick young, an Irish officer in east India Company army constructed the first permanent British dwelling at Mullingar in 1825. Landour takes its name from llanddowror, a small town in wales.
Situated at an altitude of 7500 feet (2286 meters) above sea level, lal Tibba the Landour ridge is the highest point in Mussoorie. This also remains the most secluded and beautiful area of the town, with spectacular views of the snow clad greater Himalayas, dense deodar forest, and peaceful slopes.
