A warm look at the journey ahead
The Dehradun-Mussoorie corridor is Uttarakhand's most iconic and complete travel experience, offering the full spectrum from colonial grandeur and natural wonders in the Doon Valley to the misty Himalayan elegance of Mussoorie at 2000 m. Dehradun — the state capital and school capital of India — features the magnificent Forest Research Institute (FRI), built in the Greco-Roman style in 1906 on 450 acres of forest campus; the otherworldly Robbers Cave (Guchhupani) — a natural river cave running 600 m through limestone rock formations; and the 20+ waterfall clusters of Sahastradhara ('Thousand-fold Spring') with sulphur-rich natural pools. Mussoorie — reached by a 35 km mountain road — delivers the full colonial hill station experience: the iconic Mall Road, thundering Kempty Falls, Gun Hill ropeway, and Lal Tibba's binocular views of Kedarnath and Badrinath peaks. Dhanaulti's cedar Eco Park and Surkhanda Devi's summit at 9700 ft complete this unrivalled Uttarakhand circuit.
