If you’re looking for a complete Mussoorie travel guide, keep reading.
The hill stations in the north of India are some of the most beautiful sights your eyes can behold in this amazing country.
The famous locations like Shimla and Manali of Himachal draw many tourists and are probably on your bucket list, but have you heard of Mussoorie?
It’s the tiny, picturesque hill station underdog which you’ve never heard of. Sitting in Uttrakhand, it’s a smooth 30km uphill from the capital city of the state Dehradun.
It stands at 2000 metres above sea level, so you’ll definitely feel the altitude and a massive drop in temperature!
For me, it was amazing just to get here and feel cold. Even though it is the monsoon period right now in India; in Rajasthan , it still can be extremely humid and sticky.
Mussoorie is quiet, peaceful, and sits above the clouds. It’s named the Queen of Hills and quite rightly so!
When you alight from the bus stand, you’ll be greeted by the green rolling hills, rice terraces, and chilly mist which creates a very cool setting for a getaway.
Here’s my complete Mussoorie travel guide with the top things to do in Mussoorie hill station!
How to travel to Mussoorie Hill Station in India?
Mussoorie is accessible from the capital city of Dehradun in Uttrakahand. It’s close to Delhi and you can get there in around 6 hours by bus journey up north.
It’s super cheap to grab a bus from Kashmere gate and will cost you around 600 rupees for an AC Volvo bus. For non-AC or government buses, it will be half the price.
The easiest and cheapest way to get up the hill from Dehradun is to take one of the local government Volvo buses up the winding roads.
A single ticket will cost you next to nothing at 56 rupees. As it’s government-funded, you have a guarantee of not getting ripped off.
A big tip for getting the local buses in India is to sit by the window! A lot of them are non-AC and so, if it’s hot, it can get stifling.
Luckily, this bus service is heading up into the mountains and so you may find you’re a little chilly!
If you’re planning to fly, the nearest airport is Jolly Grant which sits between Rishikesh , Dehradun, and Haridwar. From here, you will need to get a taxi up to Mussoorie.
The best place to stay in Mussoorie
In the summer months, hill stations are where everyone wants to be to escape the heat. So, be prepared to pay a lot of money for a room during this season anywhere up north.
Mussoorie is no exception. Luckily for me, I arrived in the monsoon where the rain cooled everything down.
It’s classed as ‘low season’, so the hotels are cheap and cheerful.
Plus, as the weather was cold, I didn’t need an air-conditioned room which made it even cheaper!
Top tip for booking a hotel in Mussoorie
Rather than book online, I’ve gotten into the habit of just turning up and negotiating rates while I’m here.
You’ll find a lot of hawkers approach you to book rooms when you’re in any place in India. So, you’re always guaranteed to find somewhere.
This way, you can save some serious money as the hotels charge more online.
This is because the hotels have to pay a commission to advertise on company websites such as Booking.com and Makemytrip.
So, if you’re negotiating directly, you may get a better deal. These online room prices also don’t always include the new GST (Goods and Services Tax) which is a standardised tax across all of India. So, you may have to pay that extra to the hotel.
Like with any hill station, it’s always important to check where your hotel is based. A lot of the hotels will advertise for the area, but it may be too far out from the centre and all the attractions.
This means that you’ll be paying more for taxis or rickshaws if you don’t want to walk everywhere. The best bet is to stick in and around Mall Road. This is where the action is!
These roads have all the shops, cafés, restaurants and hotels you could want so you’re never too far away if you need something.
My hotel recommendations for Mussoorie
If you’re looking for luxury, I would personally recommend a night’s stay at the Welcomhotel The Savoy .
Although located on the busy Mall Road, it’s perched high on a hill out the way from the traffic.
It’s like a fairy tale palace in the hills. For more budget range, there is Hotel Paradise Mansion which was clean and quiet too.
Top things to do in Mussoorie Hill Station
As it’s a popular family holiday destination to escape the heat, you’ll find that there are lots of things to do in Mussoorie that are geared it all up to suck the rupees out of you.
Wax museums, aquariums, arcades, and all the commercialised fun is all here for you to enjoy if that’s what you would like to do.
Personally, as the monsoon season has made the hills a beautiful glistening green, I wanted to see some of the natural beauty that the Doon valley of Uttrakahand had to offer.
Mussoorie hill station is a jewel in itself and there are lots to get stuck into. Here are the top places to visit in Mussoorie!
Camel Back Road
The easy flat stroll along Camel Back Road is the perfect escape from the busy Mall Road which sits behind it if you’re not looking to trek up to the peaks.
During this 5 kilometre walk, you can see beautiful panoramic views of the Himalayas, forestry, and the famous Camel Rock.
As it was monsoon season and the rain creates a mist, it was quite difficult to pinpoint the Camel Rock. But, luckily, I caught a picture of it just for a second.
How to see Camel Rock in Mussoorie
It’s located high on the hill, so you’ll need a pretty good camera lens to get a shot of it.
Here is my ultra blurry picture for your amusement haha! Even with my DLSR camera, I didn’t stand a chance of getting a good picture in the mist.
Top places to visit on Camel Back Road
When you carry on around the hill, you can see view area points along the way.
My favourite viewpoint was the Hawa Mahal Pagoda which is nearest to the library end of Mall Road.
It was a cute little archway, which, on a clear day, can provide some incredible views of the hills.
As I was here during Monsoon, I didn’t get perfect views but it was magical walking through the clouds.
Every so often, the hills would shine through and then cloud over again. It was a fascinating time!
Mussoorie Municipal gardens
Located 5km outside of Mussoorie is the Municipal gardens are a pretty place to visit.
Boasting a flower show, boating on the lake and a waterfall it’s a welcome distraction for an afternoon.
How to reach Mussoorie Municipal Gardens
To get here, you can hire a rickshaw from Mall Road for 150 rupees each way. Getting a rickshaw to the gardens in monsoon sounds fun, but when the heavens decide to open, they open UP! It was tropical heavy rain.
Luckily, the rickshaw driver had an umbrella and his rickshaw had a little plastic cover you could put in front of us. At one point, the driver asked us to get out and walk for a few minutes in the rain due to it being uphill.
The poor guy must have been knackered. As it was raining cats and dogs outside, the road was flowing like a river! We had to make a run for it!
We got absolutely soaked head to toe and so when we got to the gardens we sought shelter in the food court.
What is inside Mussoorie Municipal Gardens?
The park costs 18 rupees to enter which is dirt cheap and does have a nice waterfall.
I wanted to go boating, but as the guys were literally taking buckets of yucky water out of them, I thought I’d give it a miss!
The waterfall is definitely worth a see, it’s not natural but you could never tell. It’s really picturesque.
Kempty Falls
This was one of my favourite things to do in Mussoorie, although it’s not really in Mussoorie hill station at all!
All the pictures of Mussoorie advertise these falls as a way to draw you in, but the falls are actually located around 13 kilometres away downhill in a little place called Kempty. But, the journey is SO worth it!
In peak season, these falls attract thousands of tourists a day as you can bathe in the cool waters below. But, if you go in the off-season, you pretty much have this to yourself which is pretty awesome!
I read that if there was heavy rain, they may not allow swimming in the falls due to it being dangerous. So, I was crossing everything as I wanted to jump in :P
The journey down to Kempty Falls
We got up nice and early and made our way over to the falls. I also read online that the walk down was pretty treacherous so was hoping to get the cable car that runs up and down to the swimming point.
But, as it didn’t open until 9 am, we headed down by foot. The step way to the falls was completely fine!
It’s pretty safe, just go easy when it’s been raining as you could slip over. Although it is a natural waterfall that is accessible for free and it’s open from sunrise to sunset, the whole of the Kempty Falls area is overrun with shops, restaurants, attractions, and rides.
I was a little disappointed as it’s an area of natural beauty, so it should really be preserved as such. Let’s just say, I didn’t expect a 3D simulator right next to it!
But, this is India so I guess it’s just the way it is. When you reach the falls, there’s a safe area for swimming.
Swimming in Kempty Falls
You can hire swimsuits, lockers, and towels at a cheap price if you find yourself without. The force of the falls during the monsoon was truly amazing!
It was pretty cold as it was monsoon time, but it felt amazing to get in the water.
Being a woman travelling in India, I don’t always like to show off my body as it’s not really accepted their culture and draws in some attention I would rather avoid.
So, I would recommend covering up if you do decide to go for a dip. After, you can enjoy a nice chai to warm you up!
Mussoorie Mall Road
The Mussoorie mall road is similar to those in other hill stations and is a great central location to base yourself.
The buses will run to either end of this road, either the Library end at Gandhi Chowk or the Picture Palace side. Either one provides great access to hotels, restaurants etc.
But, if you end up at the wrong end you could face a 4km walk so best to get a rickshaw!
The best part for me of the mall road was the awesome views. You would get amazing views of the mountains in one minute, then it would completely cloud over. So, you felt like you were walking above the clouds!
Great restaurants are here including the Mountain Café for coffee, Argarwal’s vegetarian restaurant, and the Mussoorie sweet shop which serves up the best Gulab Jamun dessert on the strip!
Afternoon Tea at the Savoy Hotel Mussoorie
During monsoon season, it can be quite difficult to find stuff to do as India only sees rain like this for 2 months of the year!
I’m finding that escaping into beautiful cafés for chai or a ginger lemon honey tea is a great monsoon activity.
If you’re a fan of heritage hotels, look no further than a cup of coffee at the Savoy.
You can enjoy a few hours in their grand dining room. The staff here were so lovely and let us have a look around the Savoy hotel Mussoorie.
They took us into their ballroom and the chandeliers were so perfect. I could only imagine what it would have been like when it opened in 1902!
Save this Mussoorie travel guide for later
Mussoorie Hill Station was honestly so beautiful. I couldn’t believe how close this was to Delhi , so it’s the perfect getaway to paradise if you’re tired of the busy city and stifling heat!
I would definitely recommend this place in monsoon season as it doesn’t have the stickiness that comes with the humidity from the rain in other parts of the country. It was so lovely just to feel chilly.
This is just one of the many places in Uttrakhand which is outstandingly beautiful.

The area looks beautiful, and the misty cloud just adds to the atmosphere! Those waterfalls are gorgeous, no wonder they're a big draw, but shame that they've commercialised the area around it so much! That's the way of the world I guess! Great post!
Totally, as I went in monsoon season it was so misty but the mist added such atmosphere to the place! Yeah, I know, it's a real shame. Thanks so much for reading. Sophie x

A First-Timer’s Guide to Mussoorie, India’s Premier Hill Station
by Noelle Kelly | Last updated Apr 29, 2019 | Published on Oct 19, 2017 | 22 comments
Mussoorie is one of the most famous hill stations in India, and with just one look around when you’re there, you’ll instantly understand why its nickname is “The Queen of the Hills”. Located in the state of Uttarakhand, it’s situated at an elevation of 2,005 metres, or 6,580 feet, and boasts rich flora and fauna and incredible panoramic views of the surrounding snowcapped Himalayan peaks. Anyone who loves getting out in nature, going hiking and taking in stunning mountain views will definitely feel at home in no time with our first timer’s guide to Mussoorie.
Table Of Contents
Things To Do In Mussoorie
Go for a dip at kempty falls.
Locals and visitors swimming at Kempty Falls
No visit to Mussoorie is complete without a trip to Kempty Falls, just fifteen kilometres from the centre of town. The waterfalls are absolutely spectacular, flowing down the rock-face from twelve metres above. Of course, you can just stand and admire mother nature at work or you can literally dive right in! Under the falls there’s a large pool open to visitors and we definitely recommend jumping in for a swim in this beautiful spot.
The waterfall is very popular and is estimated to attract about a million visitors annually, so make sure to plan your visit wisely and avoid peak times and weekends if you’re looking for a serene, zen swimming experience.
Take In The Views From Gun Hill
Taking in the incredible views from Gun Hill
This hilltop gets its name from a gun that used to be mounted on top which was fired at noon every day during colonial times, so people could set their watches to the right time. Nowadays, there’s no gun on top but it still offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Doon Valley and the Garhwal Himalayas. At over 6,640 feet or 2,024 metres, this is the second highest point in the area, making it a great spot to snap some epic mountain landscape photos.
The summit is 400 metres above The Mall, Mussoorie’s commercial centre, and takes about 20 minutes to walk up. Alternatively, a cable car runs every day from 10 am to 6 pm so if you want those views to yourself, opt to walk up early in the morning. You can visit The Mall, for a spot of shopping when you come down the hill.
Spot Birds And Wildlife At Benog Wildlife Sanctuary
You might get lucky and spot some incredible wildlife at Benog Wildlife Sanctuary
Part of the Rajaji National Park, this sanctuary is well known for its varieties of rare and indigenous bird species. It’s home to endangered mountain quails, the red-billed blue magpie, and the white-capped water redstart.
This is the perfect place to visit in Mussoorie if you’re a nature lover and/or birdwatcher and would like a chance to spot some wildlife. It’s worth noting that this will involve walking/hiking/trekking, as it’s the only way to get in and around the sanctuary. It’s a four-hour walk each way from The Library or three-four hours round trip from Hathi Paon. If you’re lucky and keep your eyes peeled you might spot some Himalayan bears, goats, deer, and even leopards and panthers in their natural habitat.
The sanctuary also offers spectacular views of the snowcapped Chaukhamba and Bandarpunch peaks which makes it a popular spot in the area for watching the sunrise .
The sanctuary is open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm every day.
Chill Out At Lake Mist
The clouds perfectly reflected at the peaceful Lake Mist
The serene, emerald green Lake Mist is located about 10kms from Mussoorie on the road to Kempty Falls. It is surrounded by mountain streams and natural waterfalls so if you’re after a little quiet time in nature, away from hustle and bustle, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more suitable spot. The lush forest setting adds to the lake’s secluded charm and it’s a popular picnic spot.
Learn About Tibetan Culture At Happy Valley
Check out the amazingly colourful Tibetan stupas and temples in Happy Valley
Famous for its Tibetan-style Buddhist temples, you should definitely check out Happy Valley if you’re interested in learning more about Tibetan culture. This was the place the Dalai Lama first settled after being exiled from Tibet during the 1959 Tibetan Rebellion. Although the Dalai Lama presently resides in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh , the impact of his original settlement is very visible as Happy Valley has since become home to many Tibetans. You can really feel the strong Tibetan influence here and you’ll have the chance to get a good feel for Tibetan culture.
Happy Valley has another claim to fame as it was also a temporary home for the famous Indian civil rights figure, Mahatma Gandhi .
Get Into The Mountains
Mussoorie is a great base to get out and explore the surrounding mountains
Obviously, being a hill station, the options for hiking and trekking are numerous and vary from short walks and one-day treks to multi-day overnight treks. We love to trek independently where possible, but in this region, you’ll need to have your own camping gear, food, water and cooking equipment for overnight treks as it’s not set up with teahouses and/or shelters.
Guides and/or trekking companies are advisable for overnight multiday treks if you don’t have a lot of trekking experience and you don’t want to arrange all your own food, water and equipment.
Nag Tibba Hike
Walking is a great way to get around Mussoorie to take in the incredible views
Nag Tibba or ‘Serpent’s Peak’, sits at 3,022 metres (9,915 ft) and is the highest peak in the area. It’s possible to summit and this gorgeous trek usually takes two days to complete. Public transport and shared jeeps can get to take you as far as the base of Nag Tibba at Pantwari village. It’s a 5-6 hour hike to camp one and you must either be prepared with all your own gear or use a trekking company who will arrange all the equipment for you and guide your way. The next day, it’s an early start to reach the summit which takes about two hours followed by a long walk to get back down to Pantwari, which takes about 4-5 hours.
Hathi Paon Trail
Check out some amazing night sky views on the Hathi Paon trail
This easy hiking trail will take you to the George Everest House and back to the starting point at Hathi Paon or you can continue on to Cloud’s End. It’s all about the Himalayas here so again you’ll take in incredible panoramic views of Doon Valley on one side and the snow-clad Himalayan ranges on the other.
This is an easy day walk and you can also do this half hour walk on a clear night, under a brilliant starlit sky.
Get Your Feet Wet At Robber’s Cave River Trail
This interesting trail will take you through Robber’s Cave, where you will have no choice but to get a little wet to get through to the other side of the cave. Sparsely explored, Robber’s Cave is a must for those looking for unique thrills at Mussoorie. Just remember to take a change of clothes with you.
Robber’s Cave is 8km from the heart of Dehradun and should take you about an hour to reach.
Get Your Adrenaline Rush On
Get your adrenaline fix by trying out zip-lining
If adventure is on your agenda, then Mussoorie will not disappoint! From mountain biking to bungy jumping, zip lining to rock climbing , paragliding to paintballing; you’ll be sure to find an activity to thrill even the biggest adrenaline junkie out there!
Just be sure that the weather and/or season is right for the particular adrenaline-inducing activity you’re after.
Best Time To Visit Mussoorie
Visit in the best weather conditions to enjoy epic sunsets like this every evening!
The best time to visit Mussoorie is during the summer months, particularly from April to June. Since the temperatures average between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius, this time of the year offers the best conditions to enjoy all the outdoor adventures and sights in this guide to Mussoorie.
July to September is monsoon season. It is generally advised that you don’t visit during this time, as is the case in most mountainous regions, due to widespread landslides which are caused by heavy monsoon rains.
October to February is winter time, with nighttime temperatures sometimes dipping below zero. The roads are often blocked by heavy snowfall, making getting around very difficult in this season. While it’s not really recommended to take a trip to Mussoorie during winter, if you’re willing to brave the cold and allow for road closures and difficult access, we’re sure the snowfall would only add to the natural beauty of the area.
Tip: While planning your visit, try to avoid the weekends if possible. It can get a bit crowded as it’s a popular weekender getaway spot.
Getting There
Auto rickshaws wait in line to shuttle passengers around Mussoorie
The nearest airport to Mussoorie is the Jolly Grant airport located in Dehradun, which is approximately 19 miles away. There are direct flights from Delhi to Dehradun. If you are coming in from any other city in the country, there will be a stopover at Delhi before you finally land in Dehradun. And once in Dehradun, you can reach Mussoorie by road.
Dehradun railway station is the nearest train station to Mussoorie. You can get there from Delhi through the Delhi-Dehradun Shatabdi Express, Nizamuddin AC Special or the Mussoorie Express. All these trains pass through the city of Haridwar . Expect to spend about five and a half hours travelling. If you are coming in from somewhere other than Delhi, Kolkata and Amritsar are also well connected to Dehradun station by rail.
Once you are at Dehradun train station, you can get to Mussoorie by bus. If you are looking to get to Kempty Falls, look for buses heading towards Yamunotri, Barkot or Nainbagh. You can also head over to The Mall from there. It would cost around Rs.50 ($1) for a bus trip from Dehradun station to Mussoorie.
Taxi services are also available from Dehradun Station. They usually charge around Rs. 1,000 ($16) or more. If you can share a taxi with another traveller, you can cut the cost to around Rs.300 ($5).
Self-Driving
If you are coming straight to Mussoorie from Delhi in your own car, then the best route to take is the NH58 road until the town of Roorkee. Then, switch to the NH72-A until you get to Dehradun. From there, just follow the New Mussoorie Road and you will soon reach Mussoorie.
Where To Stay In Mussoorie
Mussoorie offers a wide variety of accommodation options , ranging from luxurious hotels, budget rooms, homestays, and hostels. Since it is a hill station, you can expect to have great views of the surroundings no matter where you choose to stay.
The Mall and Library Bazaar are the places to go to do some shopping in Mussoorie
If you are looking for a location which gives you quick and easy access to all the hotspots in Mussoorie, then base yourself along The Mall Road.
Head For The Hills

Tourist Places to Visit in Mussoorie
Why does one travel to hill stations? For a change of scenery, a break from the daily humdrum and to revel in the treasures of nature. All the reasons that put Mussoorie on India's tourist map. A hill station in Uttarakhand, the dreamy hamlet of Mussoorie is known for its deodar-covered forests, blue skies and blissful way of life.
One may feel that there aren't too many places to visit in Mussoorie but that's where the magic lies. In laid-back sightseeing sprees and a places to visit in Mussoorie itinerary which is tailor-made according to your interests.
The mall road in most Indian hill stations is the centre of all activities. Somewhat resembling the busy markets of cities, Mall Road in Mussoorie is where you should be to rejuvenate yourself after exciting sightseeing sprees.
Much smaller than most mall roads in other Indian hill stations, Mall Road is home to numerous decade-old restaurants and shops. If you have visited Mussoorie before, you'll notice that nothing seems to change in this quaint hill station. The roads look the same and the locals are as welcoming. Since there aren't too many restaurants and shops situated across town, including a visit to Mall Road in your places to visit in Mussoorie itinerary is inevitable.
There are several restaurants here, some which have stood the test of time and now have a loyal following of foodies. Hot steaming momos is a common sight on Mall Road and a delicious treat is never too far away. If Chinese is not your preferred cuisine, you can expect Indian delicacies as well as an Italian fare in most restaurants. The best restaurants which you should tick off your places to visit in Mussoorie itinerary are Kalsang, Tavern and Cafe By The Way.
Mall Road will also make it to your list of places to visit in Mussoorie if shopping is on your mind. Besides the usual handmade woollens, travellers can take back stationary, food items, fruit wines, jams and local handicrafts. We recommend brushing up on your bargaining skills for the best discounts.
Cost: A day on Mall Road in your places to visit in Mussoorie itinerary will cost you anywhere between Rs.100 and Rs.800 depending on the inclusions.
A trip to Gun Hill promises two things – awe-inspiring views and an opportunity to ride in a cable car. On the list of places to visit in Mussoorie, Gun Hill is an enthralling tourist attraction, especially if you are travelling with children.
The second highest point in Mussoorie, it is located at an altitude of 2024 meters. The views of the sunset from here are quite charming. You can see the entire Doon Valley and the overwhelming Himalayan range in the background.
The ropeway to Gun Hill operates between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. While it sees a lot of tourists and there is always a queue, there is ample space for at least six to seven people. At the top of the summit, you can enjoy local street food and indulge in old-school carnival games to keep yourself busy. Balloon shooting, ring throw and a view from the telescope are a few activities here that you should add to your places to visit in Mussoorie itinerary.
The food stalls here serve everything including maggi, omelette with toast, hot tea, cold coffee, chips and Indian snacks such as samosa .
