A Guide to the Landour Language School
Tucked away in the quiet hills above Mussoorie, the Landour Language School is one of the oldest language schools in India. Established in 1870, it was originally founded to help foreigners learn Indian languages before beginning work across the country. Today, the school continues that tradition, welcoming students from around the world who come to study languages while experiencing the peaceful atmosphere of the Himalayas.
