Nestled in the lush foothills of Dehradun, Kulhan offers the perfect base for exploring nature, adventure, and local culture. If you are looking for things to do in Kulhan and the surrounding valley, start your day with a short 4 km drive to the famous Sahastradhara. Here, you can experience the therapeutic sulphur-rich natural springs, cascading waterfalls along the Baldi River, and a scenic ropeway ride offering panoramic views of the hills.
For adventure seekers, the trekking trails around Shikhar Fall offer a picturesque walk through dense woodlands leading to crystal-clear freshwater pools. History lovers can take a peaceful walk through the pine forest trails surrounding the historic Khalanga War Memorial. If you prefer a relaxing afternoon, head over to the Maldevta riverside along the Song River, a popular spot for riverside picnics, shallow water walks, and tandem paragliding.
Do not miss the dramatic limestone gorges at Robber’s Cave (Guchhupani), where you can wade through ankle-deep cool waters inside a narrow cave corridor. For a spiritual and cultural experience, visit the ancient Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple, where a natural stream drips water directly onto the cave's Shivling. Afterward, unwind at the charming local cafés dotting Rajpur Road and Sahastradhara Road, which offer delicious local Garhwali cuisine, fresh coffee, and a cozy valley vibe. From scenic mountain drives to family outings at the Dehradun Zoo, Kulhan provides a serene and unforgettable foothill escape.
