Dehra Dun for all its intial years was sulking in the shadows of an over populated over sized state gripped by greedy politics. The downsizing of Uttar Pradesh which led to the birth ofa new state Uttaranchal and Dun being crowned as the Capital pushed the town into limelight which uptill now was also victim of ignorance to its more beautiful and loved step cousin Mussorie whichstill enjoys preferrence as a beautiful hill stations among a majrity of Indians.
A valley in perfect sense surrounded by mountain stretchs on two sides boast of a moderate climate throughout the year unlike the extremists cities of the north which invite hyberbolic rise and fall of the mercury. One hot day is thwarted by rain the very next day due to its geographical adavantage.
One of the few places that can attire itself easily as a hill station or as a modern town with all the infrasttucture to gel with. It cradles to a lot of sightseeing which inlcudes Sulphur Spring a waterfall with high content of suplhur, Rajaji National Park being home to several families of animals with elephant being the most prominent. Then are are architectural beauties like Forest Research Insttitue (FRI) Museum and ofcourse Indian Military Academy (IMA).
Inspite of this it will not come across as a remote raw town untouched with industralization as it boost major head offices of ONGC and Survey Of India neither does it fails to cater to its young generation with Mcdonalds, Pizzahuts, Dominos etc...
