Nanda Ki Chowki Bridge — Approach Road Collapse

The approach road of a newly inaugurated ₹16-crore bridge on the Dehradun-Paonta Sahib highway near Premnagar/Nanda Ki Chowki caved in during heavy rain just 16-17 days after its opening, though it was patched and reopened within about 12 hours. Note: this is the one collapse confirmed across available reporting — claims of the same bridge collapsing three times in a year could not be independently verified via credible sources as of this research; only this single, well-documented incident is included here.

Frequently Asked

Visitor questions

What is the number one place to see in Dehradun?

Our editors rank by a mix of visitor rating and sheer audacity. Scroll the list below — it's ordered as filed, oldest first.

Are these attractions safe to visit?

Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.

How much did these projects cost?

Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.

Can I suggest an attraction for this guide?

Dehradun produces new landmarks faster than we can rank them. Submit a photo and location via the 'Submit a Blunder' button, and our desk will verify and add it.
