About Dehradun

Dehradun is the doorway to the Uttarakhand hills. The city itself has Tibetan monasteries, colonial-era institutes and a fast-growing café scene, and within two hours you can be at Rishikesh for the Ganga aarti and yoga, at Haridwar for Har Ki Pauri, or in the mist at Mussoorie. It is one of the strongest wellness-and-adventure bases in the north.

Best time to visit
✓ September is a great time to go
September to November and February to April are ideal. July to early September is lush but landslide-prone, and river rafting in Rishikesh is closed in peak monsoon. December to January is cold.
How to reach
Dehradun station has direct trains from Delhi (about 4.5 to 5 hrs on the fast services); Jolly Grant Airport is roughly 35 km away with flights from Delhi and other metros; Delhi is about 5 to 6 hrs by road.
