Complete Guide to Dehradun Trip Cost
Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, sits in the picturesque Doon Valley just 250 km from Delhi — a quick 4 to 5-hour drive on NH-58 through Meerut and Roorkee. Known for its pleasant climate, prestigious institutions like FRI and ISBT, and proximity to hill stations, Dehradun is the perfect low-key weekend getaway from Delhi.
A 2-day Dehradun trip from Delhi is remarkably affordable. At ₹2,750 one-way for a sedan with Triveni Cabs, it is one of the cheapest cab trips from the capital. Add modest hotel and food costs in this non-touristy city, and you get excellent value for money.
Dehradun's highlights include the stunning Forest Research Institute (FRI) with its colonial architecture, Robber's Cave with its river flowing through a narrow gorge, the peaceful Mindrolling Monastery, and the therapeutic Sahastradhara sulphur springs. Most attractions cost less than ₹50 to enter.
The real charm of Dehradun is its laid-back vibe — the Rajpur Road cafe culture, local bakeries serving legendary bun tikki, and the valley views with Mussoorie twinkling on the hills above. It also serves as the perfect base for trips to Mussoorie (35 km), Rishikesh (45 km), and Haridwar (55 km).
