The ideal time to visit Mussoorie, affectionately known as the Queen of the Hills, would be during the months from April to June when the summer warmth blankets the plains and people flock to this hill station for a cool respite. During this period, the weather is pleasantly cool with maximum temperatures usually not rising above 25°C, making it perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the outdoor activities that Mussoorie has to offer, such as cable car rides to Gun Hill, walks along the Camel's Back Road, and visits to Kempty Falls.
If you are looking to experience Mussoorie in a quieter, more serene setting, the months of September to November might be an excellent choice. Post the monsoon season, the greenery in Mussoorie is at its luxuriant best and the clear skies give way to spectacular views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. However, it is noteworthy that the winter months from December to February are quite chilly, with temperatures dipping below 0°C, and while it offers a different charm with occasional snowfall, it may not be comfortable for all tourists. Therefore, for a balance of good weather and less crowd, the autumn months are highly recommended.
