There are a many good things about Dehradun like its natural scenic beauty, the cultured and disciplined crowd, beautiful females, smart and well built men (mostly from Army), FRI, Sahastra Dhara etc. but best thing which made me write this post is the honesty and the fact that people are not that greedy and money minded, as at other tourist places. The temples are more of worship place that being money counters for the priests. It was first time I saw big painted banners outside the temples which read "Please do not give any money in temple" .This was out side Shiv Mandir which falls in the way to Mussoorie. The cab drivers are also pretty decent unless you bump into an exception. We will advise you to take quotes from 2-3 cab drivers before you book one for your trip to
Dehradun /Mussoorie.
One more very good but not so famous place in Dehradun is "Gupchup Pani" or the "Robber's Cave". This place is also on the way to the Campty Falls. Make sure you are not wearing tight jeans or saree if you are going to this place as you will get drenched till knees if you enter the cave. It's a cave with waterfalls inside. A good experience. If you have more time you can spend sometime on the nearby river as well. Mostly, its a slow flowing river with big rocks inside on which you can sit and probably click a few photographs.
If you like this place you can even stay at "Rio Resort" which is a decent place to stay, just at a walking distance from Robber's Cave.
Must Try: Lychees in summers is such a relief and you must try lychees in Dehradun if you are there in Month of May, June (Summers)
All in all Dehradun is a a nice tourist spot to relax and enjoy natural beauty. Watch out for more in Good things about Dehradun- Part 2
