The Fern Brentwood Resort & Spa, Mussoorie, announces its latest culinary celebration, Punjab di Khushboo – a spirited food festival that brings the rich and robust flavours of Punjab to the Queen of Hills. Running from 19^th to 29^th June 2025, this 10-day celebration invites guests to experience the warmth of Punjabi hospitality, the joy of comfort food, and evenings filled with laughter, games, and good cheer.

The evenings begin with Rumuk Hi Tea, Tambola, and Lamp Lighting (5:30 PM to 6:30 PM) – a lighthearted prelude that sets the tone for a hearty dinner ahead.
