Heads Up
- 1. The drive from Lucknow to Haridwar is long; consider an early start to avoid heavy traffic.
- 2. Hill driving in Uttarakhand requires caution, especially during the monsoon season (July-September).
- 3. Carry light woolens even in summer as Mussoorie evenings can be quite chilly.
- 4. Pre-book parking in Mussoorie if traveling by private vehicle as space is very limited.
- 5. Day 3: 6h 1m driving — plan rest stops
