Dehra dun

Dehra dun:

Dehra dun is set in the foot hills of Himalayas at the centre of the 120kms. long doon valley. The name dehra dun is literally made up of two words where dera means camp and dun stands for dera means camp and dun stands for valley. the beautiful town is referred as the gateway to mussoorie and garhwal interior.It is perhaps one of the oldest cities in India and was occupied in turns by the Sikhs, mughals and Gurkha's before coming under the reigns of the British. E;ote educational and other institutions were established during the British period.

Assan barrage (40kms.):

The wetland near the confluence of rivers assan and yamuna attracts a large number of migratory birds and is an ornithologist's paradise.

Mussoorie:

Mussoorie, the Queen of hills perched at a height of 2000 metres is one of the most popular hill resorts of the country. It was set up in 1823, by Captain young during the British era and is 34kms. from dehra dun. This popular week end retreat provides first glimpse of snow-clad Himalayas for the travellers from the plains.

The second highest peak of mussoorie had a gun mounted over it, which was fired to herald mid-day. Travelling by the 400 m. rope-way connecting the
