We all know how picturesque and serene the hills get when it pours in the mountains, and living in a town where the Queen of Hills is just an hour drive away, what a blessing it is. Choose your companion and pick up your Honda Activa because as it is the signature ride of the town and get set ready to have a detour uphill at your favourite Maggie point and if its early in the morning, then you will have a peaceful day with all the happy feelings.

A petrichor with darkened skies and the sparkling thunders are all the after effects of the wet weather. It is a perfect opportunity to perk up your photography skill.

3. Please your Tongue

All Doonites love dumpling, Maggie and Bund Tikki. It is now considered more of a staple food for the people in the town. The mere thought of being at the hill top and gorging on to these heavenly delights makes me drool. So how incredible would it be if you travel to the mountains and sit at a cozy place with your friends or beloved and have meaningful chats with delicious delicacies of your hometown.

4. A treat for the Caffein-ites

Many people in town are coffee lovers. So the downpour can be an excuse for them to hit the road and drive at their favourite coffee house and sip on to a cup of decaffeinated elixir (that is what they call it). There are a number of coffee houses in town in every area, but if you’re devoted to a single place then ride on.

In the weather of divinity travelling till the Mahadev temple in Dehradun can be an utter delight. Many of the folks bid goodbye to their stress by availing Babaji-Ki-Booti or Somras. If you’re living in the capital of a Himalayan state then you get the opportunity to catch up with the trends  prevailing in the town.
