Family Trip To Mussorie: Part-1

We started off on a Saturday morning in two cars and here’s a quick road-review…

…let me take you through both the routes.
Route 1 : Delhi – Gurgaon – Dharuhera – Shahpura – Jaipur – Dausa – Lalsot – Ranthambore
Route 2 : Ranthambore – Lalsot – Dausa – Sikandra – Rajgarh – Alwar – Bhiwari – Gurgaon – Delhi
