7 things to love about Dehradun...!!!

Dehradun, often called as Doon Valley, geographically located in the State of Uttarakhand and situated in the foothills of Himalyas is one of the cities I just love belonging to. Being away for sometime has made me me miss the city and here I jot down few things that I most remember about Dehradun.


SCENIC BEAUTY AND WEATHER
The scenic beauty of Dehradun is mesmerising. From the valley the look of the mountains all around and on the outskirts the peace and look of the city is just beyond what words can describe. And how can i forget the look of Dehradun from Mussorie road, it is something that most of feel is just beautiful.
The weather is just awesome. Rain, clouds, sun all are in the best proportion.


HANGOUT ON MUSSORIE ROAD
The famous Mussorie road and maggi points which are one the best points to hangout and recollect memories and create few more new rememberable ones.



FAMOUS INSTITUTIONS
IMA, FRI, IIP etc  being the major attractions which add to the heritage and popularity of dehradun. Both these institutions have beautiful structures.


MAIN MARKET
Paltan bazar can never be replaced by malls. The evening strolls is also inviting to the youngsters to do some window shopping and enjoy a ice-cream at Gaylords.



WATER FALL
How can I forget the water springs. Shastradhara, Gucci pani, Lachhiwala and various springs like Shikhar falls, Bhatta falls attract a lot of people to enjoy in midst of day routines.

PEACE
The peace of the city is just amazing for meditations and the calmness attracts a lot of people to have Dehradun as a place to rejoice.


OUTSKIRTS AND NERABY PLACES
A few kilometres drive and you can go to the well known Mussorie, Dhanaulti and its outskirts , Rishikesh and its beautiful surroundings and also Ponta sahib cannot be forgotten.
The stroll on the mall road that one can never say a 'NO' to.



These are just the few things that people who have stayed in Dehradun will agree with. Each one of us who has spent some time may that be days or years in Dehradun will always cherish going back
