Will Sahastradhara be ready? Flood fears return ahead of Uttarakhand monsoon
Nestled amid the hills of Dehradun, Sahastradhara remains one of Uttarakhand's most visited tourist destinations. However, memories of the devastating September 2025 cloudburst continue to haunt the scenic hotspot.
The disaster, triggered by intense rainfall and a sudden surge in the Baldi River, claimed lives, damaged shops and hotels, and caused losses worth crores of rupees. Nearly nine months later, fresh construction activity near the river has raised concerns among tourists and locals over the possibility of another tragedy during the upcoming monsoon season.
