It has been articulately put forth by a writer:
“Discovering this idyllic place, we find ourselves filled with a yearning to linger here, where time stands still and beauty overwhelms.”
Full justice imbibes these lines with reference to Dehradun - the capital city of the Uttarakhand state (earlier called Uttaranchal) in India, and the headquarters of Dehradun District.
Dehradun mesmerises visitors with its ever so enchanting scenic beauty. Flanked by the Himalayas in the North and Shivalik Hills in the South, it captures in its true essence the admiration one has of natural resources.
Dehradun leaves you spellbound with its myriad range of product varieties which are exclusive to this place – the world famous Dehraduni Basmati Rice, the Bakery Products and Lychee production. The close proximity of the city to the tourist destination of Mussourie and the pilgrimage center of Haridwar suitably accentuates the attraction for the city. The quality of education and institutions that Dehradun offers by far surpasses the other cities of India. Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy, Forest Survey of India, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation, National Hydrographic Office, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing are world renowned institutions that add to the fascination of the city. Dehradun also has one of the most efficient transportation systems and is well connected to major towns of India.
The quality and the way of living have seen a miraculous shift for a Dehradun resident in the recent times. Backed up by a strong technological boom, the city is experiencing a major turn in terms of advancement and progression.
