If you are planning a road journey from Delhi to Dehradun, choosing the right route helps ensure a smooth and comfortable trip. The most preferred and reliable route is via NH 334 passing through Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, and Roorkee. This highway route is well maintained, offers good road conditions, and has multiple fuel stations, restaurants, and rest stops, making it suitable for family and group travel.
Another option is the route via Saharanpur, but it is usually less preferred due to relatively narrow roads and occasional traffic congestion. The NH 334 route is ideal for those traveling with elders or kids, as the drive remains steady and less tiring. Travel time generally ranges between 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic.
