Another feather in the cap of Mussoorie is the newly inaugurated K Dev Bhoomi Wax Museum, inspired by Madame Tussauds in London. Being the fourth of its kind in India after Kanyakumari, Kolkata and Lonavala, the museum needs no introduction. Situated in the premises of Company Garden, just 3 kms ahead of The Mall, the museum boasts of lifelike wax statues of both domestic and international personalities, some of which have been imported from the other branches. So little has K Dev Bhoomi Wax Museum been publicised that the tourists are overwhelmed with joy on discovering it. The man behind the concept- Mr Sabharwal, is said to have keenly observed Madame Tussauds before coming up with the idea in 2015. The wax museum houses a total of 26 statues of some prominent personalities. Currently, Gandhiji can be seen sitting along with his charkha; not far away is a standing statue of Mother Teresa and Albert Einstein. Alongside, you can find Hitler with his pet expression and clenched fists, not to forget the visionaries- Jawaharlal Nehru and Swami Vivekananda. Also, there are figurines of Angelina Jolie and Michael Jackson among several others. So, if you’ve always wanted to visit Madame Tussauds but could not for reasons whatsoever, here is an absolutely unique opportunity for you.

Also known as the “Mine of Death”, it is locally believed that the mines are haunted by a witch. The area in and around the mine is enveloped in lush greenery and surreal landscape but all with an eerie and spooky silence. The mine was functional till the early 1990s, after which it was shut down due to the death of around 50000 people working here. While the experts say that the death was caused due to inappropriate mining practices that caused lung disorder and eventual death of the people, the locals believe that the accident was caused by some spirit who haunts the place still. There have also been reportings of sinister behaviour, blood curdling wails, strange accidents and paranormal activity near the mines, by the locals. There have been several road accidents near the spot and a helicopter also crashed at the spot, which scared the people even further and made them stick to their beliefs. So if you are in for a little adventure and are not of faint heart, gear up and take a tour. But do not venture out after dusk as it might be unsafe, as the area lies desolate and in seclusion.
