Trips from Dehradun

Dehradun sits at the foot of the Garhwal hills, so Mussoorie is about an hour up the road and Rishikesh about an hour the other way. The high country, Chopta, Auli and Kedarnath, is a full day's drive.

Jolly Grant airport connects Dehradun to Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru for Goa, Kerala and longer trips.

Getting the group there: For the hills, a private cab or Tempo Traveller from Dehradun is the simplest option. Mountain roads are slow, so we plan stops and night halts rather than one long drive.

FAQs for travellers from Dehradun

Mussoorie and Rishikesh are each about an hour away and work as day trips or one-night stays. Dhanaulti and Kanatal are a little further, past Mussoorie.
Yes. Both are a full day's drive into Garhwal, so plan 3 to 4 days with a night halt on the way, and check snow and road conditions in winter.

Check that the agency has a Google Business Profile with reviews that mention real trips, ask for an itemised written quote (hotel or category per night, room type, meals, vehicle type), get the payment and cancellation terms in writing before you pay, and be wary of prices far below everyone else for the same hotel category.
