The best time to visit Dehradun, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand, India, is between March to June. These months mark the onset of summer in Dehradun and provide an ideal escape from the torrid heat of the plains. The temperature during this time ranges from a comfortable 17°C to 35°C, making it perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the natural beauty. The weather is pleasant enough to explore the city's attractions, like the Robber’s Cave, Sahastradhara, and the Mindrolling Monastery, without the discomfort of extreme temperatures.
Another great time to visit is during the autumn months of September to November. The monsoon season ends by late September, which leaves the valley lush and green, bringing in a fresh breath of relief with clear skies and a pleasant climate. The temperature ranges from 17°C to 23°C, which is ideal for participating in outdoor activities such as trekking and paragliding. This period also witnesses the festive celebrations of Dussehra and Diwali, offering tourists a glimpse into the cultural vibrancy of Dehradun.
