Rajpur Road

If Dehradun has a street where everyone eventually ends up, it's Rajpur Road. This stretch runs from the city centre toward the Mussoorie hills and has slowly turned into the go-to spot for cafes, restaurants and shopping — everything from big international brands to small boutiques selling local crafts.

It wasn't always like this. Old Rajpur, the quieter older part of the road, still carries traces of Dehradun's colonial past. But today, most people know Rajpur Road for one thing: it's simply the best place in the city to sit down with a coffee, grab some Tibetan food, or walk around in the evening with friends.
