Getting To Mussoorie

By Air : Indian Airlines  connects Jolly Grant Airport, 24 km from Dehradun, with Delhi.  Use taxis to get to/ from the airports.  Let Vikram know if you'd like help booking your trains or taxis.

From DehraDun, you have about a 1 - 1:30 hour drive to get to Mussoorie.

By Train:

The Ruizes and I are taking the train from Delhi to Mussoorie, and are taking cabs on the way back. 

You have to take the train from Delhi to Dehradun, which is 34 Kms. from Mussoorie.

My favorite train is the Shatabdi.  The seats are very comfy, recline quite far, and you get served good food during the journey.

Other options are:

1. The Jan Shatabdi
2. The Mussoorie Express

The Jan Shatabdi:

The Mussoorie Express:

- leaves Delhi at 9:15 PM, reaches DehraDun around 8 AM; this railway station is quite dirty

- leaves DehraDun around 9:30 PM, reaches Delhi at 8 AM (but I hear that this train is usually very late, generally up to a couple of hours off its schedule);  this train is clean - but the station it reaches is quite dirty

The Indian Railway website is www.indiarail.gov.in.  It isn't the easiest site to navigate - let me know if I can help get you your tickets.

 

By Car:

You can always take a taxi (I wouldn't recommend driving).  It should take about 5 - 8 hours, depending on traffic.  I can help get this set up for you.
