Delhi to Dehradun is 280–300 km by road — a 5–6 hour drive via the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and NH-334, or slightly faster via the new Delhi-Dehradun Expressway (partially open in 2026).
Route Options
| Route | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi-Meerut Exp → NH-334 → Haridwar → Dehradun | 295 km | 5.5 hrs |
| Delhi-Dehradun Expressway (new, partial) | 280 km | 4.5 hrs (when fully open) |
The new expressway has tunnels through the Shivalik Hills and will eventually cut travel time to under 4 hours from Delhi.
