Dehradun Packages

The best things to do in Dehradun run the whole gamut, from clandestine caves, resounding waterfalls, verdant forests and adventure sports, to temples, museums, wildlife sanctuaries and tribal bazaars. Dehradun in Uttarakhand is a tourist destination off the beaten path. Marvel at the grandeur and architecture of the massive Forest Research Institute, dedicated to the study of forestry. Make a trip to Zonal Anthropological Museum and Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology. The latter is a premier institute dedicated to the palaeontology and glaciology. Pay your respects at the scenic Tapkeshwar Temple, situated on the banks of Asan River; the Mindrolling Monastery, which is a result work of 50 talented artists at work, and the Guru Ram Raj Gurudwara, which is the epitome of Islamic and Hindu architectural harmony. However, one of Dehradun’s most sought-after travel attractions is the Guchhupani/Robber’s Cave. A river flows inside this spectacular cave. Take a safari through the Rajaji National Park, home to the tiger and elephant. Visit the cascading Sahastradhara waterfall, whose water is touted to have healing powers. Enjoy the man-made pools at Lacchiwala. Engage in keen bird-watching at Asan Barrage, Dhalipur Lake.

The area is a sanctuary for many endangered bird species. Shop woollens and Doon Rice, besides the regular wardrobe necessities, at Paltan Bazar. Get educated about the oil and gas value chain and better automobile fuel options at Subir Raha Oil Museum. Bicycle your way through the pretty MDDA Park and the scenic Malsi Deer Park, which is a mini-zoo. Dehradun is close to many hill stations, including Mussoorie. Some of its other neighbours are Rishikesh and Haridwar. Dehradun is perhaps best known as a hiking and trekking destination, but is offers a plethora of other thrilling outings such as paragliding, hot balloon riding, rappelling and kayaking. Dehradun also boasts a very unique cuisine, which takes inspiration from Tibetan and North Indian food culture. You must try Chilli Momos at Kalsang, Soup at Singh Soup Bar, Poori Thaali at Chetan Poori Waala and Milk Rusks from Standard Bakery. The best things to do in Dehradun are not simply done, but tasted, felt, breathed and imbibed.

My group and I trekked up to Nag Tibba. I loved this trek – it was a fun challenge which we were more than rewarded for with stunning views of beautiful mountains, Jungle Trail, Both guides were fantastic for the following reasons. First, there was a high degree of professionalism. They knew the route well, Everything ran perfectly smoothly and there were no organizational issues. Overall, I loved my experience trekking with thrillophilia Team Group.

Booked: Nag Tibba Trek With Camping In Uttarakhand

The trek had been an amazing experience for us being the beginners.. We had 2 guides and they had been a great support to us. They really helped us through all thicks and thins in every possible way.. We were all girls in our group and we didn't face any issue of safety. Though there was little inconvenience regarding washrooms and drinking water but still the trek was organised and managed well.. Special thanks to our guides and thrillophilia

Booked: Nag Tibba Trek With Camping In Uttarakhand

This was my First Winter trek (to Snow) though i have been to 4 treks in south India earlier, Initially i was confused on what to wear, but thanks to decathlon. ( Thermal Full set, One quick dry pant , one quick dry tshirt, one fleece , one Jacket,woolen socks , gloves , and a woolen cap , Proper shoe) was sufficient . About the trip: We booked from delhi to delhi , transport was taken care , the co-ordinators (rishab and sagar) helped by responding quickly for any questions we had. Day 1: Start from delhi kashmere gate and reach dehradun by morning. (you would be having only public toilet in the bus stand (not so great) but you have no other options. Day 2: Transported from dehradun to pantwari village . ( I was told that shoe and Jacket can be rented) - but they were not available for rent in dehradun or pantwari , so i had to buy a jacket (~2K) ,my shoes were already good enough for this trip ,so i ignored that. The Transport to pantwari village is going through hills , and for the first time i had motion sickess( i had to vomit ,though this has never happened to me before) After reaching pantwari village , we met our guide. who gave us lunch, we packet few things(water bottle , lunch provided , additional socks). and started the trek. (it was moderately difficult) ,after reaching base camp (~3 to 4 hours Uphill) , we had some snacks and enjoyed the rest of the evening. Such a Clear sky( was able to see shooting stars, satellites moving around , sunset and a good bonfire at the end). We slept in the sleeping bags provided within the tent. It was very chill at night and i felt a little pain in my bones (of leg) - my top layers were sufficient enough to cover the upper body and keep it warm). Day 3: Next day ,we started to nag tibba temple and luckily we found snowfall (for 10 mins ) in a place along with bright sunshine. Loved it. then we made it to nag tibba temple (~4kms), but not to summit (another 1.5 kms Uphill) - but since the steep was high and we didnot have proper snow shoes we had to return from temple. Ankle deep snow was found when we were walking. On reaching the base camp , we removed some layers. and had lunch and started to desend ,which was quite easy , then we got into the tourister to desend to dehradun around 5PM , reached dehradun by 8.30 PM and our bus was at 10.30PM to delhi, we had our dinner at dehradun(some hotel available) and made it to delhi next day morning at 5AM. Best : Food was Great . Precaution : Empty your stomach before the trek ,and do not over eat, if you wouldnt be comfortable to use the toilet in the tent (it wont be good - but you cant expect for more)

Booked: Camping At Maldevta FarmsDehradun

This campsite is away from the city area and provides total peace. The lush green gardens and the beautiful mountain views make this campsite even more amazing place to stay at. They had so many adventure activities to participate at and even had trekking available for those who want to spend time in natural surroundings. We had a great deal of time there.

Booked: Stay At Forest Rajaji National Park In Uttarakhand

Forest Rajaji National Park is the best place to visit with friends or family. I went there with my family and it was really amazing. My parents had a great time there. The surroundings were really great and it is really close to the Ganga river so you can easily enjoy the beauty of this place. Also, Food was very hygienic and mouthful. I highly recommend you to visit this place.

Booked: Family Outing And Stay At Magpie Cottage Uttarakhand

We just love the cottage stay and the services provided there. The cook made the best of the biryani and butter chicken for us on request. We stayed the entire day in the cottage only and relaxed a lot while enjoying the views of lush greenery by sitting on the balcony. Even watching birds from the cottage was lovely and there are varieties of birds to see at.
