If you grew up in North India, you probably associate Dehradun with elite boarding schools, bakeries, and quiet retirement homes. But drive down EC Road or Rajpur Road around two in the afternoon today, and you will see a very…
Look, picking a college is an exhausting process. You are probably drowning in a sea of glossy brochures right now, and every single one of them looks exactly the same. If you have clicked on this, you are trying to…
You can like a college and still have doubts about joining it. Suppose you have enough for the tuition but haven’t worked out how to pay for a hostel. Or your preferred course is available locally, and you’re wondering whether…
Booking a flight to Dehradun can make it sound as though you will land in the middle of the city. You won’t. The plane arrives at Jolly Grant Airport, and there is still a road journey between the terminal and…
Imagine getting off a bus at ISBT with a bag and a spare afternoon. Somebody says, “Let’s do Rajpur Road, Robber’s Cave and a cafe before dinner.” On a phone screen it sounds easy. By the time the bag is…

Open the map and Dehradun looks unusually cooperative. The station is here, Rajpur Road is there, and Mussoorie seems almost within arm’s reach. A campus visit can surely fit before lunch. Perhaps a market after that? Then the actual day…
What is Dehradun, exactly? The short answer—Uttarakhand’s capital—doesn’t tell you what the place is like. Dehradun sits down in the Doon Valley. Mussoorie looks close from here, especially on a clear morning, but this is a working city rather than…
A message saying ‘meet me at Ama’ used to be clear enough. In Dehradun, it isn’t anymore. Dehradun has two of them now. One is in Kishanpur on Rajpur Road. The other is upstairs at the Mall of Dehradun in…
