Resort Experiences & Activities at EBC Mussoorie
At EBC Mussoorie, the experience extends well beyond your accommodation. Surrounded by pristine Himalayan forest at 2,000 metres, every day offers something new — from guided nature walks at dawn to stargazing sessions that last until midnight.
Bonfire Evenings
Every night at EBC ends around a private bonfire. We set it up for you as the sun sets over the forest — a glass of something warm, the crackle of wood, and the Himalayan sky above. This is the signature EBC experience that every guest remembers most.

Stargazing Sessions
