Back to Dehradun

Prem Nagar lies in the west of Dehradun, along the road towards the Indian Military Academy and the Forest Research Institute. It has grown into a busy area with colleges, universities, hostels, cafés and markets, and it is home to many students and young professionals. For Myra members, Prem Nagar offers casual, affordable first dates, with plenty of cafés and snack spots popular with students. Introductions here often include people from Kaulagarh, Vasant Vihar, Panditwari, Nanda Ki Chowki and the university areas nearby, depending on your distance limit. The Forest Research Institute’s grounds are close by and make a beautiful setting for a daytime walk. A coffee near campus, followed by a short walk, is a simple and relaxed first date. Weekends here are calmer, when many students head home or into the city. A Sunday morning coffee near campus, followed by a walk through the institute grounds, is a peaceful start. Prem Nagar was settled by Partition refugees from the west, and its markets still have many Punjabi-run shops serving chole bhature and lassi. The Indian Military Academy, founded in 1932, sits just beyond the neighbourhood, and its passing-out parades in June and December are a proud moment for the city. The Forest Research Institute, set up in 1906, occupies one of India’s largest brick buildings and houses museums on timber, insects and forest pathology. Several universities have built campuses along the Chakrata Road in the last two decades, which is why so many students now live here.
