Dehradun, Capital city in Uttarakhand, India
The metropolis extends across the fertile Doon Valley, between the Himalayan foothills and Shivalik mountains at 435 meters above sea level.
The city foundation dates to 1676, when Sikh guru Ram Rai built a temple and established a settlement in the region.
Multiple festivals occur throughout the year, including Makar Sankranti and Baisakhi, reflecting the Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim populations.
The Jolly Grant Airport connects Dehradun with major Indian cities, while frequent trains and buses operate from Delhi within 230 kilometers.
The Forest Research Institute, inside a red-brick colonial building, maintains the largest forest library and herbarium collection in South Asia.
