How many days do you need?
One day is enough for a few places in the city, but it’s tight. Two nights let you add Mussoorie or Rishikesh without rushing. Three to five nights work best if you want the hills, the Ganga and a rest day. Every plan below starts and ends in Dehradun, so you don’t have to change rooms.
Check roads and weather before any hill day, and see day trips for the details of each stop.
