Mussoorie & Dehradun
Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, sits in a wide valley below Mussoorie, the hill station that has drawn visitors since the 1820s. Together with Chakrata to the west they make an easy break from Delhi or Haridwar: a short drive, cool weather and plenty to see. These guides cover what to do in Dehradun in one or two days, with Mussoorie as an easy add-on, and Chakrata, a quiet cantonment town with forest walks and Tiger Falls, one of the highest direct waterfalls in India.
