Best Time to Visit Kempty Falls

March to June | 15 to 30°C

• The weather is warm and the waterfall is at full flow after the winter months. This is peak season for families, school groups, and couples visiting the Mussoorie region.

September to November | 10 to 22°C

• The post monsoon period sees the waterfall at its most powerful. The surrounding hills are green and crowds are thinner than in summer. This is ideal for photographers and nature enthusiasts.

December to February | 2 to 12°C

• The area turns cold and the water flow reduces. Some facilities near the falls may have limited hours. This period is best for travellers who prefer quiet, off season visits.

July to August | 15 to 22°C

• The monsoon brings heavy rain and the waterfall is at peak force, but the area around the pool can be unsafe due to slippery rocks and rising water levels. Visiting during this period is not recommended.

Pro Tips for Kempty Falls Bus Travel

We run buses to Kempty Falls through the Mussoorie corridor and know what helps visitors. Here are the essentials:

• Departure Time: An overnight bus from Delhi reaches Kempty Falls by early morning. This gives you a full day at the waterfall and the option to explore Mussoorie in the evening.
• Carry Towel and Change: If you plan to enter the pool at the base of the falls, carry a towel and a change of clothes. Changing rooms are available on site.
• Footwear: The rocks near the waterfall are slippery when wet. Sturdy, non slip sandals or shoes are recommended over regular footwear.
• Carry Cash: Kempty Falls has food stalls and shops near the entrance, but most accept only cash. The nearest ATMs are in Mussoorie, 15 km away.
• Advance Booking: Summer weekends (May to June) and long holidays fill up fast on the Delhi to Mussoorie corridor. Booking at least 2 weeks ahead is recommended.
• Luggage: One backpack (up to 15 kg) and a daypack is sufficient. If you are staying in Mussoorie, you can leave heavy luggage at your hotel before visiting the falls.

These small preparations make the difference between a smooth trip and a stressful one.

Why Kempty Falls Over Mussoorie Mall Road, Dhanaulti, or Landour?

Most Mussoorie visitors spend their time on Mall Road and miss the natural attractions in the surrounding area. Kempty Falls is worth a dedicated visit for a different kind of mountain experience.

• Natural Water Pool: Kempty Falls has a natural pool at its base where visitors can swim and wade. Mall Road, Dhanaulti, and Landour do not offer this.
• Multi Tiered Cascade: The waterfall drops across multiple rocky tiers, creating a dramatic visual. It is the most photographed natural site in the entire Mussoorie region.
• British Era History: The falls were a favourite picnic spot for British officers in the 1800s, who are said to have hosted tea parties here. The name Kempty is believed to derive from “camp tea.”
• Proximity to Mussoorie: Kempty Falls is only 15 km from Mussoorie, making it easy to combine with a Mall Road visit and a Dhanaulti side trip on the same day.
• Family Friendly: Lifeguards are present during peak season, life jackets are available, and food stalls operate throughout the day. It is one of the safest waterfall sites in Uttarakhand for children and non swimmers.

Kempty Falls works well as a half day trip from Mussoorie or as a stop on the way from Dehradun to Mussoorie.
