JollyGrant.in is an independent local guide to Jolly Grant, the small town between Dehradun and Rishikesh that is home to Dehradun’s airport and to Himalayan Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in Uttarakhand.
Thousands of people arrive here every week who have never been to the area before: travellers flying into Dehradun on their way to Rishikesh, Mussoorie or the Char Dham, and families bringing a patient to Himalayan Hospital, often in a hurry and under stress. Most of the information online about Jolly Grant is scattered, outdated or written by taxi and hotel companies trying to sell something. We started this site to put clear, practical, honest answers in one place.
What we cover
- Jolly Grant Airport (DED): flights and airlines, the terminal, arrivals and departures, parking and getting to and from the airport.
- Himalayan Hospital: how to reach, OPD basics, what to carry, and practical help for patients and attendants.
- Getting around: routes, distances and transport options to Dehradun, Rishikesh, Haridwar and Mussoorie.
- Stay and explore: areas to stay in, food, and nature spots and day trips around Doiwala.
Who writes JollyGrant.in
The site is written and maintained by Aakash Puri, who was born in Rishikesh and lives in the Dehradun region. The roads, routes and places covered here are ones he knows and uses. Where we rely on official information, such as airport data from the Airports Authority of India or hospital information from Swami Rama Himalayan University, we say so and link to the source.
Our editorial standards
- We write for people, not for search engines. Every guide is meant to answer a real question someone has when arriving in Jolly Grant.
- We check facts against official sources where they exist, and we show the date each guide was last updated.
- Prices, schedules and timings change. Where we give a figure such as a taxi fare, we label it as indicative and tell you where to confirm it.
- We do not accept payment to rank or recommend any hotel, taxi operator or business. If that ever changes, it will be clearly disclosed on the page.
- If you spot something wrong or out of date, please tell us through our Contact Us page and we correct errors quickly.
