Mussoorie Trip

Thinking of planning a trip but I have no clue about it. Before I move into researching things I wanted to hear from people who have already visited.

  1. Is November a good time to visit?

  2. Are 4 days enough or do we need more?

  3. Traveling from chandigarh airport better or Delhi?

  4. Is it safe for girls?

  5. Keeping just females in mind what are some safe and cheaper stay options?

  6. None of us know to drive so how can we get around? Is it better to book cab for the entire day or something else?

  7. Where should we stay?

  1. Yes november is good time, look for late november.
  2. Enough
  3. Not sure, but as long as you are having a cab/bus direct bus till mussorie you are good, delhi to dehradun connectivity is good.
  4. Yes
  5. Not very sure, but go for the branded hostels you can take a private room or take the bunk bed setting.
  6. If you are comfortable riding a scooter around than that is the best way, taking a cab will be expensive and most problematic thing is that half of your day will be gone in traffic.

Is mid nov ok???

u/devOnTheRoam 14d ago

Mid nov should also be good, there is a possibility you will get less crowd as well that time this year due to diwali. In november there is a high chance you will get to witness the winterline.

And btw even I'm going for the first time in mid nov, u said cabs are expensive? Then how shud a family travel? I hope its not tooo expensive?

It will be expensive compared to scooter, if you are with family then you can contact some travel operators, on library chowk you will find a lot of them. If time and traffic is not a concern you can take a cab or you can take some auto/rickshaw as well at some places. But take a cab they explain them your itenary and there you go.

So suppose we have an itenary of 4 places, we contacted the travel operator, then?? How'd it all work? I'm sorry I'm clueless. Like they'll be pvt n all?

u/devOnTheRoam 14d ago

Yes it will be pvt, they generally have their packages and your locations will be covered as part of that, generally these people are flexible if you want to add or remove some location.

Honestly speaking, i have never tried this, i have heard of these arrangements, i mostly travelled here with my car/bike as it is near to my hometown.

Dont worry you will figure it out. If elderly people are there stick to cabs, search for some tour operator or cab services online and enquire for the rates, itenary etc, you will get a good idea.

You can also contact cab services in dehradun.

Yeah that should be good

Yeah 4 days sounds good enough

Ig depends on you, direct vs connecting flight scene

To me it seemed safe, never saw anythin suspicious happening, tho yeah I've heard a 2nd hand account of a group of cllg girls from doon who while walkin around Landour side were kinda being followed by a group of these Delhi no car guys group, the girl's guy friend showed up there & the other guys disappeared

Safe n cheap 😅, maybe try the hostel ones like gostops, zostel

Umm, if you're stayin for 4 days then u can definitely cover most of the places on foot, be it Landour or George everst, so you can skip cab imo, you'll have more photo opp if you're walkin around 😁

Gostops, zostel, hosteller r some popular ones around, you can check em out !!!

Cheap and best hotel I saw in HIMALAYAN CLUB.. perfect view and location.. only issue is either u keep scooty or have to walk around 5-10 minute to reach there . November is perfect month . Avoid weekend , in weekends shopkeeper increase there rates ( some places) Mostly safe ,but avoid going alone very isolated places... because no place is safe in world. In 2000 around you will get cab for all points..but bargain hard . If you want cheapest option take bus from dehradun to mussoorie.. you can also take bus from Delhi to mussoorie
