A practical plan is to leave Mussoorie early, connect towards Dehradun/Rishikesh and then follow the Garhwal route to Joshimath before the final approach to Auli. Depending on current road conditions, navigation may suggest alternate Uttarakhand hill routes, so verify the day's road advisories before departure.How to Reach Auli from Mussoorie by Road
