Places to stop between Delhi and Mussoorie
The best stops on the way are all in Dehradun, at the foot of the hill: Mindrolling Monastery, the Forest Research Institute, the Clock Tower and Paltan Bazaar, and Malsi Deer Park. The expressway runs past fields and forest with no towns to stop in, so the stops come in the last hour of the drive. The Clock Tower and Malsi are on the road; Mindrolling and the Forest Research Institute are short turns off it.
