Roads in Mussoorie are good right upto Bhattafall, after which the traffic comes to a crawl due to ongoing patchwork for the monsoons. It is advisable to plan the trip such that you enter and exit the Mussoorie town either before 7 am (no traffic in the morning at the expense of missing the fooding at this hour) or after 11 pm (again no traffic).

Entry of vehicles is restricted inside Mussoorie town on mall road. When you have hotels booked in advance, you may be able to drive upto the hotel by showing your confirmed booking or get the hotel to arrange a pick-up cab from your public parking. An update here is that around the base of Gun Hill, bollards make it impossible to drive throughout mall road of Mussoorie. You may check the maps and see if the booked hotel is towards Library side or Picture Palace side and take a suitable route from Om Filling Station onwards.

The approach to Picture Palace side has very narrow roads and is facing a road repair since a long time . Sometimes it finds both sides jammed.

Hope you will enjoy the Monsoon trip as July 4 is the official arrival of the rains. As a matter of fact, it has been intermittently raining since last night and nights are somewhat chilly in Mussoorie requiring a light jacket. Carrying a light waterproof windcheater is advisable. You may also buy the lightweight plastic parka raincoats in Mussoorie, but I guess single use plastics are going to be banned from next week.
