NH 48 to Delhi → NH 334 (Delhi-Dehradun Expressway) via Roorkee UttarakhandHistory & Significance
Dehradun's history stretches back to the Mahabharata era when Guru Dronacharya is said to have meditated here (Drona's Valley or Doon). The city was part of the Garhwal Kingdom until the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16, after which the British developed it as an administrative and educational centre, establishing the Survey of India headquarters here in 1767.
