Places of Interest

Some are Tapovan, Sahastradhara, Tapkeshwar Temple, Robber's Cave, Ram Rai Darbar, The Kalinga War Memorial, The Forest Research Institute Museums, Mindrolling Monastery including others. After a hard day of sightseeing, a drive down to Dakpathar with its scenic surrounding and the sparkling waters of the Yamuna makes this as a the perfect spot to relax.

Sahastradhara

Around 14 km from Dehradun is the cold Sulphur water spring called Sahastradhara. The spring is believed to have exceptional medicinal value and the dripping caves and a bath in the Baldi River near the spring are said to rejuvenate the body and soul.

Tapkeshwar Temple

This is one of the most famous temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated by the forest side, the main Shivalinga at the temple is inside a natural cave "Drona Gufa". Water drops from the ceiling of the cave trickle down over the Shivalinga in a continuous downpour, making for an interesting spectacle. It is also believed that this was used as a residence by Guru Dronacharya.

Robber's Cave

It is also known as Guchchu Pani. Robber's cave is a beautiful picnic spot. On display here is one of nature's strange phenomena; a stream of water goes underground here and reappears a few meters away. The cave is surrounded by hills and is a beautiful getaway for those looking for peace and quiet of the hills.

Mindrolling Monastery

A large Buddhist monastery in the Tibetan Nyingma tradition. Popular Tibetan legend says that Mindrolling lineage descended from the celestial Devas (Gods). It is thus one of the "Deva-family" lineages of Tibet. The Great Peace Stupa in Og Min Ogyen Mindrolling Monastery is 185 feet tall and 100 square feet in width. It is the world’s largest stupa and is a magnificent example of Buddhist art and architecture. The stupa is surrounded by a two-acre landscaped garden.

The Kalinga War Memorial

This war memorial is only of its kind in the world which was erected by the British to honor their foe, the Gorkhas.

The Forest Research Institute Museums

Lavish environs and one of the largest institutes of its kind. Entomology Museum contains about 3,000 exhibits representing the various stages of insect pests.

Depiction of Indian history starting from the date of construction of Qutub Minar to Jalianwala Bagh incident made on this exhibit makes it very interesting.
