Recommendations

If you have time, then consider visiting the Forest Research Institute, which is a world-famous institute for forest research and education. The institute has a museum and a botanical garden, and the campus's architecture is awe-inspiring. You can also visit the Sahastradhara, which is a famous waterfall and a perfect picnic spot. If you want to take a side trip, then Mussoorie is an excellent place to visit, which is around 30 km from Dehradun. You can take a shared taxi or bus to reach there. Also, do try the local sweets and snacks, which are readily available in the city market.

For maximizing your fun, wear comfortable footwear and clothing, as most of the places require walking and climbing. Carry water bottles and light snacks with you. Bargain while shopping, as the prices are usually inflated for tourists. Use public transport, which is cheap and convenient.
