Amazing Uttarakhand - Mussoorie + Rishikesh 4N / 5D ex-Delhi
A short, family-friendly Uttarakhand sightseeing tour ex-Delhi airport that pairs two nights at the colonial hill station of Mussoorie (Queen of the Hills) with two nights at Rishikesh (the Yoga Capital, where the Ganga exits the Himalayas). The full Delhi - Dehradun - Rishikesh - Delhi loop is included. Subject to weather and regulatory clearance.
TL;DR · This is a sightseeing tour, not a Char Dham helicopter pilgrimage. Two nights in Mussoorie (Kempty Fall, Company Garden, Mall Road, Gun Hill ropeway, Camel Back Road), two nights in Rishikesh (Lakshman Jhula, Ram Jhula, Bharat Mandir, Triveni Ghat Ganga Aarti), with bookend Delhi - Dehradun road transfers. Best season: March to June and September to November. If you are flying or training into Dehradun directly and want to skip the Delhi bookend transfers, see the sister Mussoorie + Rishikesh 4N/5D ex-Dehradun. For Char Dham helicopter pilgrims, see Char Dham 5N/6D by Helicopter.

What you see on this tour
Mussoorie - Queen of the Hills
Mussoorie is the colonial hill station above Dehradun, set along a ridge at around 2,000 m.

Rishikesh sits where the Ganga exits the Himalayas at around 415 m and is dotted with ancient temples, ashrams, and yoga and meditation centres. The classic loop covers Bharat Mandir, the Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula suspension bridges, Janki Jhula, and Gita Bhawan (where Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures are kept on display). Evenings end at the famous Triveni Ghat Ganga Aarti.

The Rishikesh - Delhi drop on Day 5 is around 247 km (4-5 hours). All vehicles are non-AC in hill sections and AC works only on the plains portion of the Delhi - Dehradun stretch.
Compare options
If you are flying or training into Dehradun directly, the ex-Dehradun sister itinerary saves the Delhi bookend transfers and is the cheaper variant. For pilgrimage instead of sightseeing, the Char Dham helicopter packages are the senior-friendly default. As a Kumaon-focused sister tour for ex-Delhi travellers, the Nainital + Kausani + Corbett 5N/6D ex-Delhi covers Naini Lake, the 300 km Himalayan view at Kausani, and a jungle safari at Jim Corbett - the natural Kumaon counterpart to this Garhwal-side circuit.

Important notes
- All vehicles in the hills are non-AC. AC works only on the plains stretch of the Delhi - Dehradun drive. Mountain hotel services cannot be compared to plain areas - we use the best available at each stop.
- The Mussoorie Gun Hill ropeway is excluded - book and pay direct on the day.
- No vehicle is allowed at Mussoorie Mall Road. The vehicle parks where permitted; from there guests walk or take a local mode at own arrangement.
- A/C Tempo Travellers and coaches have local-union restrictions in some hill towns. Where vehicles are stopped before town, guests will need to manage final-mile transfer including luggage.
- In case of any hike in hotel rates, the package cost will be amended accordingly. During festivals and long weekends, these prices are not valid - quoted on request.
- If the group does not arrive or depart together, additional transfer charges apply.
- Any expense incurred due to weather, road closures, or landslides is not covered. We will re-route where possible but cannot guarantee completion if a road is shut.
