Planning a 2-day trip to Mussoorie? Here's a day-by-day Mussoorie itinerary with what it costs, where to stay and how to get there, ready to follow or make your own.

Why go now

Winter skies are clear enough to see the snow range, and the occasional January snowfall is a big draw from Delhi.

Mussoorie sits on a ridge above Dehradun with views of the snow peaks. The busy Mall Road contrasts with Landour above it, a quiet cantonment of colonial cottages, bakeries and forest walks.
