Rajpur Road is Dehradun’s most famous street, running north from the Clock Tower towards the foothills and the old road to Mussoorie. It is lined with cafés, bakeries, restaurants, bookshops and boutiques, and it has become one of the most popular places in north India for a relaxed coffee with a view of the hills. For Myra members, Rajpur Road is the natural place for a first date in Dehradun, with dozens of options within a short drive. Introductions here often include people from Dalanwala, Jakhan, Kishanpur, Hathibarkala and Malsi, depending on your distance limit. Many cafés have outdoor seating with views of the hills, which are lovely in the cooler months. The road is busy in the evening and at weekends, especially with visitors from Delhi and Chandigarh. For a calmer first meeting, a weekday afternoon is a good choice. Many members here enjoy books, music and the outdoors, which often appear as shared interests on introductions. Bakeries along the road are famous for their cakes and breads, and an afternoon tea with something sweet is a classic Dehradun date. In winter, the cafés light fires and heaters in the evenings, which makes them especially cosy. The road follows the old bridle path to Mussoorie, built in the nineteenth century when the hill station was founded. The Dilaram Bazaar junction and the old Astley Hall area are familiar landmarks for meeting.
