The cloudburst took place around 2:15 am. A bridge over the Song river was washed away and Kempty Falls, a popular tourist spot near Mussoorie, was flowing dangerously, the officials said.
Mud entered homes in over a dozen villages following the cloudburst, prompting the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to shift the affected people to safe locations.
"All the people stuck in the village were rescued, while some took shelter in a resort nearby," news agency ANI quoted a member of the disaster response team as saying.
