Escape to Paradise: Nirvana Holiday Apartment Awaits in Mussoorie!
Escape to Paradise? Maybe… My Mussoorie Adventure at Nirvana Holiday Apartment – A Review, Uncensored!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a little chai latte) on Nirvana Holiday Apartment in Mussoorie. The name promises paradise, but let's be honest, "paradise" is a word that's thrown around faster than free Wi-Fi passwords these days. Here's my take, warts and all, because let's face it, perfect reviews are about as real as a unicorn selfie.

First Impressions & Accessibility: A Mixed Bag
Coming into Nirvana, the air is crisp, the mountains are majestic, and the promise of a "Nirvana" escape hangs heavy. Now, I'm not exactly a mountaineer, and thankfully, getting to the hotel was relatively straightforward. The "Airport Transfer" (thank god!) saved me a potential Himalayan hike with my luggage. But, let's talk about Accessibility… It's listed, which is, like, a good start. The elevators? Okay, thank goodness. I didn't have to lug my bags up a million stairs. But, I didn't see a lot of specifics for someone with mobility issues. Need more detailed info on this, Nirvana!
Ramblings of Internet & Isolation (and Wi-Fi that Actually Works!)
Okay, this is a big one for me. I NEED my internet. And, hallelujah, they delivered! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms – bless their hearts! And it actually worked! I was able to FaceTime my grandma, watch a cat video (priorities!), and generally feel less disconnected from the world. There's also Internet [LAN] if you're old school, but who are we kidding? Wi-Fi in public areas was decent too, especially in the lobby.
Room Review: Comfort and Quirks
My room? Pretty decent. Clean, non-smoking (thank goodness – those fumes are a real buzzkill), and had a window that opens (essential for mountain air!). The blackout curtains were amazing for sleeping in after a late night, probably because of the bar downstairs (more on that later). The bathroom was functional, had a hair dryer (a necessity for this mane!), and the towels were fluffy. BUT… the desk felt a bit cramped, and the mirror could've been clearer. Little things, you know? Minor flaws in my slice of paradise, still.
The Food Scene: A Culinary Rollercoaster
Let's dive into the food situation because a bad meal can REALLY ruin a vacation. Restaurants are available. Breakfast [buffet] was alright. Asian breakfast, with Asian cuisine in restaurant also exist, but I'm a sucker for the Western stuff. They had the usual suspects – eggs, toast, (okay coffee), and something that vaguely resembled sausage. If you're a foodie, the A la carte in restaurant and Vegetarian restaurant options could be your saving grace, but I didn't try it. I do remember the bottle of water at the table, which was a nice touch. The Snack bar came in clutch for late-night munchies. The Poolside bar was a nice touch, and I had a pretty nice time there during happy hour.
The Spa & Relaxation – Did I Find Nirvana?
This is what I was REALLY looking forward to. Spa! Yay! And, it was… alright. They have a Sauna, a Steamroom, and a massage. I did the massage. It was good. Not amazing. But good. They had the Pool with view which was nice, and a Gym/fitness. I made a valiant attempt at the Fitness center, but after a few minutes I decided on the Pool with view as a better option. I skipped the Foot bath and Body wrap, but hey, they were there! It wasn't a life-changing experience, but it definitely relaxed me.
Pool Side Adventure:
I spent a great amount of time near the pool! When the sun was strong, I would lounge like a lizard. During certain times of the day, a nice breeze would come through, almost like a personal fan. During these times I felt like I could spend my entire day there.
Beyond the Basics: Services, Conveniences & What Else is on Offer
Services & Conveniences: The Concierge was helpful. Daily housekeeping kept things tidy, although I could have done without the slightly overzealous cleaning lady who tried to throw away my half-eaten bag of chips. The Laundry service was a lifesaver. Cash withdrawal on-site was also incredibly convenient. The Gift/souvenir shop was perfectly placed to tempt my wallet.
The Kids Zone: I didn't bring any kids so I can't say for sure about the Babysitting service or Kids meal. But from the looks of it, the Nirvana place has a family-centered atmosphere.
For the Business Travelers (or People Pretending to be): They had Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, and even Audio-visual equipment for special events. I did see someone running around with a Projector/LED display so that I could do some presentations
Safety & Cleanliness in a Post-Pandemic World: Anti-viral cleaning products, Hand sanitizer, and Daily disinfection in common areas were good to see. Room sanitization opt-out was a nice option. I also noticed the staff was wearing masks and following hygiene protocol, which is always important.
The Little Things – Hits & Misses
- The Good: Air conditioning in public area (essential, especially in the warmer months). Elevator (again, crucial!). Facilities for disabled guests were listed (but I'd love more details on what those actually are). Safety deposit boxes were reassuring.
- The Not-So-Good: The Coffee shop coffee could have been better. The check-in process could have been a bit smoother.
In Conclusion: Escape to Paradise, Maybe… With a Few Caveats
So, did I find paradise at Nirvana Holiday Apartment? Not quite. Was it a pleasant stay? Absolutely. Mussoorie itself is incredible, and the hotel, while not perfect, provided a comfortable base for exploring. The views are stunning, the Wi-Fi worked, and the massage was decent.
Final Verdict: If you're looking for a solid, well-equipped hotel in Mussoorie with a few nice amenities and the promise of some relaxation, Nirvana Holiday Apartment is worth considering. Just manage your expectations a little, bring your own fancy coffee, and be prepared to occasionally work around imperfection. It's a real-life adventure, not a stock photo! And hey, that's what makes it interesting, right?

Nirvana Mussoorie: A Clumsy Pilgrim's Chaos
Day 1: Arrival and Altitude Asthma (Probably)
- 7:00 AM: Alarm screams. Actually, more like a strangled gasp. Did I even sleep? Ugh, packing the night before was a caffeine-fueled panic. Did I remember my inhaler? Praying to the travel gods I did. (Spoiler: I probably didn't).
- 7:30 AM: Taxi to the airport. Traffic is, of course, a lovely beast. Every horn blast is a promise of impending doom.
- 9:00 AM: Fly to Dehradun. Hopefully, the airplane food isn't too soul-crushingly sad. Last time I flew, I swore I saw a sad, weeping samosa.
- 11:00 AM: Land in Dehradun. Breathe deeply… or try to, anyway. Mussoorie's altitude is no joke. Immediately feel my lungs clench. Brilliant. Time to hit the road.
- 12:00 PM: The long, windy, and utterly gorgeous drive to Mussoorie begins. Okay, fine, the views are breathtaking. I'll admit it. I love the mountains! That said, the driver's "driving" is more "slightly controlled chaos." Holding on for dear life. Someone please remind me to tip him well.
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at Nirvana Holiday Apartment. Oh, the irony. "Nirvana." More like, "Will I remember to pay the electricity bill?" The apartment looks…okay. It's clean-ish. There's a weird smell, but maybe it's just the mountain air, seasoned with a hint of forgotten incense. I'm praying the bed is comfy.
- 2:30 PM: Unpack. Fail. My suitcase exploded. Clothes everywhere. This is my life now.
- 3:00 PM: Attempt to venture into Mussoorie to look at the town, get a sense of the place. But by the time I get a sense of the place, it’s dark!
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. The food is okay. The chai, however, is divine. I order three cups out of sheer desperation for warmth. Start making friends with the waitstaff. They seem simultaneously amused and deeply pitying.
- 8:00 PM: Collapse into bed. Wonder if I'll actually be able to breathe tonight. Maybe should have gotten an oxygen tank.
Day 2: The Mall Road Mishap & The Landour Lament
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Am alive. Woo-hoo! But my lungs are… still not thrilled. Coffee. Need coffee.
- 9:00 AM: A stroll along Mall Road. Ah, the legendary Mall Road! It's…crowded. Like, wall-to-wall people. Stalls selling everything from woolly sweaters (which I don't need, I am sweating) to, uh, glowing plastic swords. I get jostled by a group of giggling school children, nearly eat a jalebi (sweet fried dough) that was hanging out in the open, and generally feel like a bewildered sheep.
- 10:30 AM: Find a quiet bookstore. Hallelujah! Browse, breathe the happy scent of old books, and for a fleeting moment, forget I'm a human-sized anxiety attack.
- 11:30 AM: The great "Momos and Tea" quest. I'd heard the momos here were legendary. Follow a recommendation from a local, only to discover the "restaurant" is essentially a shack on a side street. Queue up for 30 minutes, while I grow increasingly hangry.
- 12:00 PM: Ah, the momos! They are… okay. The tea is good though. And the view from the shack is actually pretty incredible, overlooking the valley. Small victories.
- 1:00 PM: Attempt a hike. I thought I was prepared. Turns out, I am not. I can't breathe. Turn back halfway. Defeated, dejected, and with a pounding headache. Is it the altitude? The lack of fresh air? The slightly-off momos? Who knows!
- 3:00 PM: Landour! Time for Landour. "Landour" is a sort of famous, slightly more chilled area. I find myself gravitating towards the Landour Bakehouse.
- 3:30 PM: Landour Bakehouse. Okay, this place is worth the hype. The smell is… heavenly. The cakes are… glorious. I order a coffee and a chocolate brownie, and for a moment, the world is right. I’m probably going to regret it later, but right now, I’m just happy. I'm not a big fan of crowds and I also like a bit of chill, so, yay! It's perfect! I feel like I'm the only one here, until a group of tourist show up. Oh, well.
- 5:00 PM: Slowly, I walk back. I'm so happy. The air smells good, the views are breathtaking, and the brownie… will haunt my dreams. I'm going to come back here. I'm going to eat every cake.
- 7:00 PM: Back at the apartment. Journal. Regret the brownie, but not too hard. Sleep.
Day 3: Kempty Falls Chaos & Farewell Fear
- 8:00 AM: Coffee and a quick trip to a viewpoint. The view is really gorgeous, and it's nice to see the city waking up.
- 9:00 AM: The Kempty Falls. OMG. I heard it was amazing. I heard wrong. It's a zoo. Tourist stampede. People splashing everywhere, trying to get a picture. It's a beautiful waterfall, sure, but I can't see it for the sheer number of selfie sticks. I push my way through, feeling claustrophobic and grumpy.
- 10:00 AM: Find a slightly less crowded spot. Take a picture of the falls. Admire the beauty, despite the tourist chaos.
- 11:00 AM: Back to the apartment, with a longing to go back to Landour Bakehouse.
- 12:00 PM: I get some snacks and a book, and enjoy the apartment.
- 3:00 PM: It's time to pack. I have to go home. I actually have to leave this place. I'm sad. I made peace with the place, and the altitude. I actually quite enjoyed the coffee, the views, and the Bakehouse.
- 4:00 PM: Drive back to Dehradun. It’s beautiful, but I don’t think I’ll be able to see it! I’m too sad!
- 6:00 PM: The plane. I’m nervous, and kind of excited.
- 8:00 PM: I’m home! And I'm already thinking about the cakes I'll eat when I return to Landour.
Final Thoughts:
Mussoorie, you beautiful, frustrating, slightly-too-crowded wonder. You tested me, you challenged me, and you occasionally nearly suffocated me. But you also gave me moments of pure, unadulterated bliss. I'll be back. God, I hope I can breathe better next time.
P.S. Seriously, someone tell me if I remembered my inhaler. I can't remember anymore. And someone get me a brownie. Please.
