Dehradun is a city known for its gorgeous landscapes. The city is so picturesque that it has tourists thronging from far and wide to spend a day or two in the lap of hills. One popular gem in Dehradun is Sahastradhara, the ‘Thousand-fold spring’ which is visited by many for its gorgeous waterfalls and caves.
Sahastradhara Waterfall
Of the many places to see in Dehradun, Sahastradhara has regular footfall from tourists and locals because of the serenity and calmness surrounding the waterfalls. The joy of seeing water falling stepwise in a near-perfect symmetry is unparalleled.
Thousand-fold Spring
Sahastradhara is situated around 15kms from Dehradun, near another famous tourist spot, Robber’s Cave. It is as good as seeing a thousand waterfalls descend from the top, hence the name ‘thousand-fold spring.’ The temperatures here are cool throughout the year, which is what Dehradun is known for.
What To Do
A visit to Sahastradhara is also a must if you want the beautiful mountain-view right up to Mussoorie. The best way to enjoy this spot’s beauty is to travel by the ropeway that offers a panoramic view of the entire city.
When To Visit
Being a hill station, the weather in Dehradun is pleasant all year around. If you want to see flowing waterfalls, a visit from May to August would be ideal. For lush greenery all around, the rainy months from July to September are perfect.
