Useful Tips

If you have an extra day in Uttarakhand, consider visiting the scenic hill station of Mussoorie located 77 km from Dehradun. For those with a little less time, skip the bungee jumping and zip-lining in Rishikesh. Instead, visit the famous Har Ki Pauri ghat in Haridwar, which is 30 km and an hour away from Rishikesh. Make sure to pack comfortable shoes, sunscreen, hats, and some warm clothes as temperatures may drop at night time.
