Day 1: From Dehradun to the Queen of Hills – Mussoorie
Start your journey by landing in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. A quick scenic drive (around 1.5 hours) takes you up winding mountain roads to Mussoorie, the ever-charming hill station known for its colonial vibes and panoramic views.
What to do:
Grab a hearty breakfast and head to Kempty Falls or Bhatta Falls for a splash of fun.
Ride the ropeway to Gun Hill and soak in the Himalayan views.
In the evening, take a peaceful stroll on Mall Road and end the day with hot momos and local Pahadi cuisine.
Overnight in Mussoorie.
Day 2: Mussoorie to Rishikesh – Where the Hills Meet the Ganges
Wake up to mountain sunshine, have breakfast, and drive to Rishikesh, India’s yoga capital (around 4 hours). This sacred town is more than just temples — it’s a vibe, a rhythm that balances adventure with inner peace.
What to explore:
Visit the famous Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula bridges.
Explore the artistic ruins of Beatles Ashram.
Shop local handcrafted items or sip on herbal teas in cliffside cafés.
End the day with the spiritual glow of the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat.
Overnight in Rishikesh.
Day 3: Adventure Mornings & Spiritual Evenings
Rishikesh is the place to awaken both your inner adventurer and your spiritual seeker.
Morning Thrills:
Go white water rafting on the Ganges (safe and beginner-friendly).
Take an optional yoga session or nature walk.
Post-lunch:
Drive to Haridwar (just 1.5 hours away).
Take the cable car to Mansa Devi Temple and admire the bird’s-eye view of Haridwar.
Evening Bliss:
Head to Har Ki Pauri for a mesmerizing Aarti — thousands of diyas floating on the river create a sight that stays with you forever.
Overnight in Haridwar.
Day 4: Wrap-Up with Divine Vibes & Local Treats
On your final day, spend your morning visiting local temples, tasting street food, or simply meditating along the river.
