✅ Real Customer Story: Self-Drive Adventure from Dehradun to Landour in a Kia Seltos

When Dr. Manish, a respected physician from Pune, decided to take a much-needed break with his family, he chose the lush green hills of Dehradun and Landour as his getaway destination. Accompanied by his brother and young daughter, Dr. Manish wanted complete freedom and privacy to explore — and for that, he picked a self drive car rental in Dehradun from Rapidx Car Rental.

And what a journey it turned out to be!

🚘 The Journey Begins – A Clean, Ready Kia Seltos Awaits

The family landed in Dehradun on a bright Monday morning. Their Kia Seltos, almost brand new, was already waiting at the airport, freshly cleaned and inspected by the Rapidx team.

“The car looked spotless. It smelled fresh inside and had a bottle of water, tissues, and a neatly laminated checklist. Small things, but they matter,” said Dr. Manish.

From there, the family began their 7-day hill escape, covering Dehradun, Mussoorie, Landour, and surrounding hidden gems.

🌄 Day 1–2: Dehradun to Mussoorie – A Scenic Welcome

After breakfast at Ellora’s Melting Moments on Rajpur Road, they headed to Mussoorie via the winding hill road. The Kia Seltos’ hill assist, powerful AC, and wide boot space made the ride comfortable for the entire family.

They visited:

• George Everest’s House – where the clouds rolled in like waves
• Camel’s Back Road – ideal for an evening stroll with tea
• Company Garden – for their daughter, who loved the mini amusement rides

Their daughter even got a chance to feed a rabbit in the garden and enjoy a fun ride in the park. It was the kind of day that becomes a family memory forever.

🏞️ Day 3–6: Peace & Charm in Landour

Next, they made their way to Landour, a quiet cantonment town nestled above Mussoorie. They stayed in a cozy hill-view resort tucked near Sisters Bazaar — a peaceful contrast to the bustling Mussoorie market.

Some highlights of their Landour days:

• Morning walks through Pine-covered lanes near Lal Tibba
• Breakfasts at Char Dukan, especially the chocolate pancakes
• Shopping for local jams and handmade candles
• A spontaneous picnic at Kellogg Memorial Church grounds
• Watching the sunset from Devdar Woods Café with hot chocolate

“It felt like we’d stepped into a vintage British hill station. The air, the silence… and the view—it’s something you just can’t describe,” Dr. Manish shared.

🎉 Fun Moments & Unexpected Joys

• The family got lost once while taking a shortcut — and discovered a secluded forest trail behind Landour Language School.
• Their daughter made a new friend at the resort and played board games in the lounge while the adults relaxed with local tea.
• On their way back to Dehradun, they stopped at Robber’s Cave and even tried street momos from a local vendor — something they said was “shockingly good.”

🛣️ Smooth Drives, Zero Stress

Throughout the journey, the Kia Seltos performed flawlessly. With ample ground clearance, automatic transmission, and a reverse camera, driving in hilly areas became easy — even for narrow roads near Landour.

“Having the freedom to stop where we wanted, without depending on a taxi or driver, made the whole experience so much more personal,” added his brother.
