Cloud's End marks the westernmost boundary of Mussoorie, 6 km from Mall Road along a winding mountain road through dense forest. The site is named for its position — on misty mornings, clouds literally form and drift through the trees at this elevation. A historic British-era bungalow (now a heritage hotel) sits at the point, surrounded by one of the densest patches of oak, rhododendron, and blue pine forest in the region.
Cloud's End is far less crowded than Kempty Falls or Mall Road, making it a favourite with nature lovers, photographers, and couples seeking a peaceful escape. The forest trails around the site are excellent for bird-watching — over 120 species have been recorded here. The views of the Aglar river valley below and the Himalayan ranges to the north are spectacular, especially at sunrise and during October–November.
