Forgot to plan for a long weekend break? Here’s a solution, just pick-up your car & go road-tripping!!! One of my recent impromptu travel getaway finds was this underrated hill city in Uttarakhand – DEHRADUN – think lush greenery, scenic mountain views, cool cafés, buzzing food scene and an a vibe that feels worlds away from Delhi’s pollution and chaos.
We spent the weekend walking around Dehradun’s Rajpur Road soaking in the doon valley vibes, exploring the streets, café hopping between some of the prettiest cafes and best restaurants in Dehradun ☕, while discovering the city’s evolving food scene without planning a thing. And if you’re game, drive for 1.5-2hrs to head to Mussoorie for a day.
This hill city pleasantly surprised me with its charm & vibe, some popular Delhi café’s & pubs that make you feel in your comfort zone but in a different set up, vibrant atmosphere, stunning aesthetics & I came back feeling recharged and updated with the new cool vibes of Dehradun. 👉🏻 Save this little escape for when Delhi gets too loud as it’s perfect for a quick reset!
