Traveller notes on Mussoorie in April
April is peak season in Mussoorie — the forum calls late March and April ideal, and busy with it — because the hill station is the escape from a plains April that is already punishing. Figures vary a lot depending on who is quoting them: posters commonly give 30°C days and 18–22°C nights, while the monthly record for the hill station is cooler, nearer 22°C and 8°C. That is the sort of gap you get between a ridge town and the valley below it, and it is worth knowing both numbers exist. Either way, an evening at 2,000m wants a proper layer in a month India thinks of as hot. Rain is not negligible either, around twelve days. Regulars are candid that hill weather is unpredictable — mostly sunny and pleasant, but not something to rely on.
