I was coming from Rishikesh to Dehradun with my family, and that bus dropped me at a bus stand called Rispana Pool in Dehradun, and from there I took a toto; there is a Mussoorie bus stand in front of Dehradun station. From where you can get a bus or taxi to Mussoorie. I went there and saw that the bus to Mussoorie was standing, and also many taxis were also standing there. I booked a bus from there to Mussoorie, and the bus ticket was only 100 rupees each. Most people use the bus to go to Mussoorie, as it is very cheap and very easy to reach Mussoorie.

Rishikesh Bus Station

The buses were not very big—about fifty seats per bus. Because if there are more big buses, it will be difficult to travel through the hilly roads of Mussoorie. I didn’t have to wait long there as the bus let it fill up a little, and soon the bus crossed the small roads of Dehradun and climbed up the hilly roads of Mussoorie, and the beautiful mountain scenery came into view. We know that how do you go from Dehradun to Mussoorie by bus? But apart from that, you can easily go by taxi.

If you are with your family, it is better to book a taxi to Mussoorie.

I have been to Mussoorie twice; once when with my family, I booked a full taxi to Mussoorie. and I had to pay a taxi fare of Rs 2000. It takes about an hour to go to the year by taxi; Mussoorie is at a higher altitude than Dehradun and much cooler than Dehradun. When you take a taxi to Mussoorie, you’ll realise how the taxi takes you straight up the hill from side to side. And what a dramatic change in weather with elevation.

You can also notice that. Book your Delhi to Mushroom taxi from here.

And as you go up, you will see the houses getting smaller and smaller, and be sure to bring winter clothes because you will get very cold when you reach Mussoorie. Another advantage of going by taxi is that you can stop in the middle of the road at your will and enjoy the beautiful view. If you go by bus, you can’t stand anywhere in the middle of the road to see the view.

If you take a scooter, then it will be between 600 and 1000 rupees, but if you take a bike, then it will be between 800 and 2 thousand rupees.

You will get a good bike as per your budget. The distance from Dehradun to Masuli is about 30 km, and this road is very beautiful, and you have to go through the mountains. The weather in Mussoorie is very pleasant; you never know when it will rain or when it will be cloudy; the weather here changes every 5 minutes. It was raining when we set off with the bike, but again, after driving for a while, the rain stopped and the sun came out. I can’t explain how much fun it is to ride a bike through the mountains; you have to experience it.

Why visit Mussoorie:

Mussoorie hill station

This is the most important question: why do you visit Mussoorie? Mussoorie is one of the most popular hill stations in India, and Mussoorie is so beautiful that it is called the Queen of Hills. Very beautiful mountains around and very nice houses; people here are also very kind. There are many places to visit in Mussoorie, and you will find very nice hotels here at very cheap prices. We reached Mussoorie around 12 o’clock. And we were mesmerised by the beautiful mountains there.

Mussoorie Mall Road is just above Mussoorie Bus Stand; our hotel was already booked. Our hotel was just five minutes away from Mussoorie Mall Road. The name of the hotel was Hotel Payoneer; the hotel was also very nice, and the hotel staff were very nice. All kinds of food are available in Mussoorie; some of the famous dishes are Chhola Kulcha, Ravri Jalebi, and some of the famous sweets.

Here I want to give you a tip. You will find many travel agencies in Mussoorie who offer you a complete Mussoorie tour with a package of thousands of rupees per person. But if there are one or two of you, then I would suggest you hire a scooter or a bike from there and go around Mussoorie completely with that bike. It will be very cheap to you. There you can rent a scooter for Rs 600 and a bike for Rs 800.

Best Hotels in Mussoorie Near Mall Road:

If your budget is good, then take a hotel near Mussoorie Mall Road, as you will get all kinds of facilities from Mall Road. There are many places to visit around Mall Road, and most of the tourists prefer to stay in hotels around Mall Road. So here I am looking for some hotels for your convenience; in my opinion, they were good hotels, but you have to see what kind of hotel you like.

First of all, I stayed in a hotel here called “Hotel Pioneer.” The hotel rent was around 1600 rupees, and the hotel gave us a nice balcony. And the room had a very nice view, and the hotel was located in the middle of the mall road. Another problem here is that tourist bikes are not allowed on Mall Road, meaning if you rent a bike and take it on Mall Road, the police there will not allow your motorbike to enter.

So I would suggest that it is best to take a hotel at a distance of about one kilometre or 500 meters from the mall road. We stayed at Hotel Paynir for two days, then we took another hotel a little further. I am providing all the hotel details so that you can easily book the hotel. Always remember that whenever you reach Mussoorie, lots of people come to you and tell you to book a hotel for 500-600 rupees, but you don’t listen to them; choose your own hotel because they get commission from the hotel. And if you go to that hotel yourself, then you don’t have to pay commission, and you get the hotel relatively cheap.
