Delhi to Uttarakhand Tour Package – 7 Days Covering Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Jim Corbett & Nainital

A 7-day Uttarakhand tour package from Delhi is arguably the most versatile and popular travel circuit in Northern India. In a single week you move through mist-covered hill stations, roaring wildlife sanctuaries, deeply spiritual riverscapes, and the serene lake district of Kumaon — all without boarding a single flight or navigating a crowded railway queue.

Whether you are planning a family summer escape, a group road trip to the Himalayan foothills, or a relaxed pilgrimage circuit through Haridwar and Rishikesh, this route delivers all of it. The key to making it truly effortless is a single dedicated outstation cab with an experienced Pahadi driver who knows every mountain curve, every hidden viewpoint, and every worthwhile dhaba along the way. At Uttarakhand Cab 24/7, we believe in our promise: Sahi safar sahi service aur vo safar hamari zimmedaari.

Day 1: Delhi to Haridwar & Rishikesh (approx. 220 km, 4–5 hours)

Your private cab departs early — ideally by 5:00 AM — to clear Delhi-NCR traffic before it builds. The drive north toward the holy city of Haridwar is smooth once you hit the expressway. Plan half a day at the ghats before a short evening drive up to Rishikesh.

Key highlights in Haridwar:

• Har Ki Pauri: Walk along the sacred Ganges, take the ritual dip at the main ghat, and absorb the scale of this ancient tirtha.
• Mansa Devi & Chandi Devi Temples: Both perched on hillsides and accessible by cable car — the ropeway views over the plains below are spectacular.
• Evening Ganga Aarti: As dusk falls, hundreds of brass lamps float on the river amid rhythmic chanting. Arrive 20 minutes early for a good position.

In the evening your driver takes you the short 45-minute hop into Rishikesh — the Yoga Capital of the World. Check in and explore the riverside cafe culture around Laxman Jhula.

Day 2: Rishikesh to Mussoorie (approx. 80 km, 2.5–3 hours)

Spend the morning walking the famous suspension bridges — Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula — and soaking in the calm of Parmarth Niketan Ashram. If white-water river rafting is on your list (Grade III–IV rapids, best season October to June), this is the morning for it.

By midday, your driver begins the winding uphill climb toward Mussoorie, navigating the steep hairpin bends via Dehradun's diversion roads. Key highlights in Mussoorie:

• Mall Road: A vehicle-free colonial stretch ideal for an evening stroll, offering craft shops and uninterrupted views of the Doon Valley below.
• Gun Hill: Take the popular ropeway to the second-highest peak in town for a 360-degree view of the snow-capped Himalayan ranges.
• Camel's Back Road: A peaceful 3-km walking trail shaped like a camel's hump — the quietest spot for a sunset away from the main market crowds.

Day 3: Full Day Mussoorie — Hidden Gems & Landour

Dedicate the third day to the lush landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and historic estates tucked around Mussoorie and the nearby cantonment town of Landour.

• Kempty Falls: Mussoorie's most iconic multi-tiered waterfall. A cable car takes you down to the pool base where families can swim safely.
• George Everest Peak: The restored estate of the geographer after whom Everest was named, set on a ridge with breathtaking views across the Aglar Valley.
• Lal Tibba, Landour: The highest point in Mussoorie — binoculars available to spot distant peaks including Badrinath and Kedarnath on clear days. Stop at the famous Landour Bakehouse for fresh pastries and coffee.
• Cloud's End: The geographic end of Mussoorie, surrounded by dense deodar and oak forest — perfect for a quiet nature walk away from the crowds.

Day 4: Mussoorie to Jim Corbett (approx. 250 km, 6–7 hours)

This is the longest driving leg of the tour, and having a seasoned outstation driver makes all the difference. The route descends from the high-altitude mountains into the plains, passing through Dehradun and Haridwar before cutting across the forest corridors of Najibabad and Kashipur toward Ramnagar. Arrive at your wilderness resort by late afternoon.

Most properties along the Kosi River are designed entirely around nature — guided evening walks along the riverbed, campfires under the stars, and the distant sounds of the jungle replace city noise for an evening.

Day 5: Jim Corbett Safari & Drive to Nainital (approx. 70 km, 2 hours)

Wake before dawn for the centerpiece of the trip: an early morning Jeep Safari into India's oldest national park. Corbett is home to the Royal Bengal Tiger, Asian Elephants, barking deer, and over 600 species of birds.

Pro tip: Safari permits are strictly regulated by the forest department and open up to 45 days in advance. Book your zone slots online early — Bijrani, Jhirna, and the premium Dhikala range fill within hours of opening during peak season.

After a late breakfast back at the resort, head toward Nainital via the scenic Kaladhungi Route. Make a brief stop at the Jim Corbett Museum — the heritage bungalow where the legendary hunter and author lived — and the beautiful Corbett Falls along the way.

Arrive in Nainital (2,084 m altitude). Head straight to the crescent-shaped Naini Lake for a rowboat or pedal-boat ride as the colorful mountain town reflects beautifully on the water. Visit the lakeside Naina Devi Temple and explore the local candle and souvenir shops on Mall Road.

Day 6: Nainital Sightseeing & The Outer Lakes

Spend a full day exploring the breathtaking viewpoints within Nainital and the quieter, equally stunning lakes just a short drive outside town.

• Snow View Point: Accessible by aerial ropeway from Mall Road — an unmatched view of the Nanda Devi peak on a clear morning.
• Eco Cave Garden: A network of interconnected natural caves (Tiger Cave, Panther Cave) that families and children love exploring.
• Tiffin Top (Dorothy's Seat): A terraced hilltop picnic spot with a bird's-eye view of Nainital town — reachable on horseback or by a short hike.

Afternoon — The Outer Lakes Tour: Take a drive to three remarkable lakes that most packaged tourists skip entirely.

• Bhimtal: The Kumaon region's largest lake, featuring a small island with an aquarium at its center. Boating here is excellent.
• Sattal (Seven Lakes): An interconnected cluster of freshwater lakes set within dense oak and pine forests — a birdwatcher's paradise and ideal for kayaking.
• Naukuchiatal (Nine-Cornered Lake): The deepest lake in the area, named for its unusual nine-cornered geometry, and famous for paragliding and zip-lining.

Day 7: Nainital to Delhi (approx. 310 km, 7–8 hours)

Enjoy a slow breakfast with the misty hills one last time. Pack your local souvenirs, check out, and board your cab for the return journey. The route descends through Kathgodam and Haldwani onto the clean national highways through Moradabad and Hapur, dropping you safely at your doorstep, Delhi airport, or railway station by evening.

Uttarakhand is a genuine year-round destination, but choosing the right season changes your experience entirely.

• March to June (Summer Escape): The most popular time for families. While the plains bake in heat, the hills hold at a pleasant 15°C to 25°C. Perfect for sightseeing, wildlife safaris, and river rafting.
• September to November (Autumn Clarity): Highly recommended for photography enthusiasts. The monsoon washes away the dust, leaving crisp mountain air, lush green valleys, and crystal-clear views of distant Himalayan peaks.
• December to February (Winter Magic): Ideal for couples and snow lovers. Mussoorie and Nainital both receive beautiful winter snowfall, and the weather is perfect for a cozy fireplace-and-mountain kind of trip.

One note of caution: The complete loop is best avoided during peak monsoon (July to August) due to unpredictable heavy rains, potential landslides, and road delays on the mountain stretches.

This circuit covers a diverse mix of multi-lane expressways, steep mountain inclines, and jungle tracks. The right vehicle for your group size makes a real difference in comfort over seven days of driving.
