Dehradun and the University

The University is situated on Chakrata Road. One can reach Chakrata Road directly from the heart of the city, Ghantaghar (Clock Tower), or via General Mahadev Singh Road. From Ghantaghar, the University is approximately 12 km along Chakrata Road (after crossing the Premnagar area).

By Plane
Jolly Grant Airport, also known as Dehradun Airport, is a domestic airport located about 22 km (14 mi) southeast of Dehradun and 30 km (19 mi) from Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The airport is situated on Haridwar Bypass Road. Airlines operate several daily flights between Dehradun and Delhi, with connecting flights available to major cities including Lucknow and Mumbai.

To reach the city from the airport, it is approximately 20 km away, and it takes about one hour to reach the University. There are no direct bus services available; visitors may avail private taxi services at the airport, or hotels may provide transportation arrangements.

By Bus
Deluxe, Volvo, semi-deluxe, and ordinary Uttarakhand State buses depart every hour from ISBT Kashmere Gate (New Delhi) and Anand Vihar (Ghaziabad). An overnight deluxe A/C service is also operated by Uttarakhand Tourism. The journey from Delhi takes approximately 6-7 hours.

The Dehradun bus station is located about 12 km from the University. If travelling from Delhi, trains are generally more convenient.

Private bus services also operate between New Delhi and Dehradun. The two main bus terminals in Dehradun are:

Delhi Bus Stand, Gandhi Road (Inter-State Bus Terminal)

Mussoorie Bus Stand near Dehradun Railway Station, offering services to Mussoorie and other Himalayan destinations.

By Car
Dehradun is approximately a 6-hour drive from Delhi. However, unless you leave early in the morning, traffic congestion may significantly increase travel time. The road is relatively narrow in certain stretches, and slow-moving vehicles during harvest seasons, as well as pilgrim movement during late July and early August, may affect travel speed.
