I live in Dehradun for many years, so aware of the environment of Dehradun and nearby cities. That's why I planned to travel the Kempty Fall in the month of May.

TouristBug Recommendations
- Kempty waterfall is over-commercialized and congested. It will be best for one time visit during traveling the Mussoorie.
- We don't think it is a good idea for going especially to Kempty Fall for travel. If you are living in Dehradun or in Mussoorie you can go there easily but if you come from outside or nearby cities then you can avoid it and can go for other tourist places in Dehradun.
- If you live in Dehradun or nearby area then going to Kempty Fall from the your own vehicle will be good option or you can book a private cab also. Then you can spend more time here.
