How do you reach Dehradun?

Dehradun is well connected, and your route sets much of the Dehradun trip cost:

  • By air: Jolly Grant Airport is about 25 km from the city, between Dehradun and Rishikesh.
  • By train: Dehradun station has trains from Delhi and other cities, including a Vande Bharat service from Delhi.
  • By road: The drive from Delhi takes 5 to 6 hours.

Pick a hotel near your first day's plan to save on taxis.

Why stay in Dehradun and not Mussoorie?

Both work, but a base in Dehradun keeps the Dehradun trip cost lower in 3 ways:

  • One hotel for the whole trip: You check in once and keep the same room.
  • Lower room rates: City hotels tend to cost less than hill-station rooms in peak season.
  • Short day trips: Mussoorie is about 35 km up the hill, and Rishikesh about 45 km away.

If you want a night in the hills, move to Mussoorie for the last night instead.

How do you split 4 nights around Dehradun?

Each day below matches a line of the Dehradun trip cost table:

  • Day 1, arrival and the city: Land at Jolly Grant and visit the Forest Research Institute campus.
  • Day 2, Dehradun sights: See Robber's Cave, Sahastradhara and the Mindrolling Monastery.
  • Day 3, Mussoorie: Drive up to Mall Road, Gun Hill and Kempty Falls. Return before dark.
  • Day 4, Rishikesh: Visit the ghats, the bridges over the Ganga and the evening aarti. Families with older children can try river rafting in season.
  • Day 5, return: Visit Tapkeshwar Temple in the morning, then fly back.

Hill roads can be busy on weekends. Leave early for Mussoorie.

 

Shraddha's family holiday

Shraddha, 39, is a salaried HR manager at a logistics company in Mumbai. Rs. 61,000 lands in her account monthly; 752 is her CIBIL score. She planned the Dehradun trip cost in the table for her husband and 2 children in the October break. She put in Rs. 16,000 of her own and borrowed Rs. 62,000 at an illustrative 17% per annum, then priced the equated monthly instalment (EMI) for a year against 18 months.


EMI = P × R × (1 + R)^N ÷ [(1 + R)^N − 1]. Here P = Rs. 62,000, R = 17 ÷ 1,200 and N = months.


TenureMonthly EMI (Rs.)Total interest (Rs.)EMI as share of salary (%)
12 months (1 year)5,6555,8569.3
18 months (1.5 years)3,9268,6766.4

Last updated: 02nd November, 2026


Stretching to 18 months saves Rs. 1,729 a month but costs Rs. 2,820 more overall. A fee of up to Rs. 2,561 covers processing. Shraddha picked the 1-year term to repay the Dehradun trip cost before summer.


What can delay approval: a CIBIL score below 650 or existing EMIs that take up a large share of your income. Names or addresses that do not match across documents, and more than one loan application in the same month, can also slow it down.

Frequently asked questions

Routes and base

Spend and airport

How many days are enough for Dehradun?

Four nights let you see the city and take day trips to Mussoorie and Rishikesh. With 3 nights, pick one day trip. If you want to add Haridwar or a trek, plan 5 or 6 nights. An added night pushes up your Dehradun trip cost, so plan the days before you book.

Dehradun suits as a base, as it is about an hour from both Mussoorie and Rishikesh. City hotels tend to cost less in peak season, and you check in only once. Mussoorie suits a quiet hill stay. Some families stay in Dehradun and spend the last night in Mussoorie. A Dehradun base also keeps the Dehradun trip cost steady.

Their Dehradun trip cost for 4 people came to about Rs. 78,000 for 4 nights. Flights took 44% of it, and taxis for day trips came next. Travelling by train from Delhi would cut the cost by more than a third. Fares for your own dates may differ, so check them first.

Jolly Grant Airport serves Dehradun. It sits about 25 km from the city, between Dehradun and Rishikesh. Taxis connect it to both. It suits a trip that covers Rishikesh too, as you can visit Rishikesh on the way in or out. Book an airport taxi in advance for late arrivals.
