- MussoorieAbout 55–60 km, around 2 hours: through Dehradun city, then up the hill road via Kuthal Gate. Landour and Kempty Falls are a little further.

Good to know about taxis at Dehradun airport
Share the flight number
Send the flight number, landing time and the number of bags when you book. The driver follows the flight, so a delay does not leave you stranded, and he waits at the arrivals exit with your name.
Don’t go into the city first
The airport is south of Dehradun. For Rishikesh, Haridwar or the Char Dham road, drive straight from the terminal — going via Dehradun city adds about 50 km and an hour of traffic.
Afternoon landings and the mountains
For safety our drivers avoid hill sections late at night. Mussoorie works for an afternoon landing; for Sonprayag, Chopta or Badrinath take a morning flight, or sleep in Rishikesh and leave at 5–6 am.
Char Dham season
Kedarnath and Badrinath open in spring and close for winter around October–November; biometric pilgrim registration is compulsory. Many yatris fly into Jolly Grant and start from here — see our Char Dham yatra taxi page.
Weekend traffic to Mussoorie
Friday evening to Sunday the Mussoorie road and Mall Road can crawl for hours. On a weekend landing, consider Rishikesh first and Mussoorie on a weekday.
One car for the whole trip
Airport → Rishikesh → Mussoorie → back to the airport is often cheaper as one per-km tour than as separate drops. Ask for both prices.
