With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Dehradun District, 20 miles away, has to offer. Clock Tower ought to be at the top of your list here. Robber’s Cave and Tapkeshwar Temple are interesting attractions too. Rishikesh is another popular option. It’s 20 miles away and has a variety of fascinating things to see and do. Parmarth Niketan, Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula are only the start.
