Mussoorie is a hill station in Uttarakhand above the Doon Valley. It has the Mall Road comprising of colonial-era buildings, cafes and bakeries, and a ring of viewpoints that look out to the Himalayan peaks. Above the town is Landour, with its old bakery and its language school, and beyond it Lal Tibba, where the day ends with the sunset. A Mussoorie trip from Delhi is a hill town visit at its most compact. The viewpoints take one day, and the waterfall and the Mall take the other.

How does a Mussoorie trip from Delhi work with goGANG?
The group meets at the boarding point in Delhi in the evening and travels overnight by bus to Mussoorie, arriving in the morning. From there the trip captain runs the itinerary on the ground. Day one is the viewpoints above the town and the evening at the property. Day two is the waterfall, the village and the Mall before the bus back to Delhi, which arrives the following morning.
The trip is open to anyone aged 18 or over, solo or with friends, and the group travels together from the first briefing to the return. Spots can be booked up to 24 hours before departure, subject to availability, and a booking can be transferred to someone else with advance notice.
What does day one in Mussoorie cover?
The bus arrives in the morning, and the day starts with check-in and breakfast at goSTOPS Mussoorie, Clock Tower. Then the group sets out for the viewpoints. The first is the George Everest house, the former home of the surveyor the mountain is named after. It looks out over the Doon Valley and the Himalayan ranges. The second is Dalai Hills, a hilltop with a large Buddha statue, Tibetan prayer flags and the mountains behind them.
The afternoon is Landour, the older settlement above the town, with a stop at the Landour Bakehouse for pastries, bread and coffee, and the language school nearby. The day’s last stop is Lal Tibba, the highest point in Mussoorie, where the sunset falls on the snow peaks. The evening is back at the property for the Artist Night and a bonfire, the hosted community events on the trip.
Good to know: every night on the Mussoorie trip is at a goSTOPS property, as on the Bir, Udaipur and Rishikesh departures from Delhi. The Kasol and McLeodganj trips add a night camping in tents.
What does day two cover before the bus home?
Day two starts with breakfast at the property. The first stop is Kempty Falls, one of Mussoorie’s most famous attractions, with time to sit by the water and the stalls around it. From there the group goes to Corn Village, a traditional Himalayan village of terraced farms and local life.
The last of the trip is Mall Road, the long promenade through the town with its colonial-era buildings, cafes, eateries, souvenir shops and bakeries. It is the place for a last meal, a last coffee and whatever you meant to buy. In the evening the group boards the bus for the overnight journey back to Delhi, arriving the following morning.
Tip: the trip’s packing list includes comfortable clothes, walking shoes, a power bank, personal medication and a valid government photo ID. Mussoorie’s viewpoints involve a fair amount of walking, and the evenings in the hills are cooler than the days, so a warm layer belongs in the bag too.
