Best time to fly

The best time to visit Dehradun is from March to June or September to November. The summer months offer pleasant weather, ideal for outdoor activities, while the post-monsoon season brings clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Avoid the monsoon season (July-August) due to heavy rainfall.

Getting from the airport to Dehradun

Jolly Grant Airport (DED) is approximately 25 km from Dehradun city centre. Taxis are readily available outside the airport, costing around ₹800-₹1200. You can also take a shared auto-rickshaw to the main city, which is a more budget-friendly option.

Things to do in Dehradun

Visit Robber's Cave (Gucchupani), a natural cave with a river flowing through it. Explore Tapkeshwar Temple, a cave temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Take a day trip to Mussoorie, a popular hill station known as the 'Queen of the Hills'. Stroll through the Forest Research Institute (FRI), a beautiful colonial-era building with extensive grounds.

Food to try

Try the local Garhwali cuisine, including dishes like Aloo ke Gutke (potatoes cooked with spices) and Chainsoo (black lentil soup). Do not miss the local sweets like Bal Mithai and Singal. Explore the street food scene on Rajpur Road for a variety of snacks and treats.

Local tips

Always carry warm clothing, even during the summer months, as the weather in the hills can be unpredictable. Bargain with auto-rickshaw drivers before starting your journey to ensure a fair price. Be respectful of local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites.
