10 Mistakes Tourists Make in Mussoorie (And How to Avoid Them)

1. Arriving on Saturday/Sunday — weekends are chaotic. Visit Monday-Friday. 2. Trying to park on Mall Road — parking is impossible. Take a taxi and avoid the headache. 3. Not booking hotels in advance — Mussoorie sells out weeks ahead in peak season. 4. Visiting only Mall Road — Gun Hill, Lal Tibba, Camel's Back Road are equally beautiful. 5. Not carrying warm clothes — evenings drop to 8-10°C even in May. 6. Reaching Kempty Falls at noon — go before 9 AM to beat the crowds. 7. Eating only on Mall Road — venture to local dhabas for better food at half the price. 8. Not booking the cable car early — Gun Hill cable car has long queues after 10 AM. 9. Not factoring in traffic — leave Dehradun before 7 AM to avoid a 3-hour crawl. 10. Skipping Dhanaulti — just 24 km from Mussoorie, completely different and quieter landscape.
