The Jaipur to Mussoorie distance by road is approximately 581 km. The drive takes 10 to 11 hours via Delhi and Haridwar or Dehradun. For most travellers, a road trip or a flight to Dehradun followed by a hill drive works best. When Rajasthan’s heat starts touching 45 degrees in May, the only thought in […]
