Good place to Visit. Following are my recommendations: 1. While driving through google maps, pl search for Tehri Dam & Not Tehri. It will direct you to city & not dam. 2. Tehri Dam View Point is waste. Instead go for Ropeway Ride in Tipri. While going & return to Tipri, one can drive via Dam & thats exciting. 3. Boating activities although expensive are good. We took a jet boat for 30 mins in INR 2500 but it was worth it. 4. Clean water. Pl maintain cleanliness of place. Breathtaking views. Finally we managed to do this family trip. We were 6 adults and 1 kid, booked Ertiga , for one day return trip. Thanks to my mausiji for sharing the connect and all.the information for this trip. We started around 8 am in morning from.mokhampur home. First stop was at Agrakhal for breakfast. We went via narendranagar bypass route. We reached tehri boating point by 12 pm. Took a speedboat ride for half an hour , all.the way to floating hills ans dobracheti bridge. Enjoyed the boating, breeze on the reservoir . After boating we went to Tipri, crossing the dam to have fresh fish and rice for lunch.

I didn't travel route from Tehri to Rishikesh so please check the route condition before making decision. If you follow route back to Mussoor...
