Dehradun to Kotdwar
Kotdwar is about 120 km from Dehradun, and the road takes an odd shape: down to Haridwar, out of the state to Najibabad in UP, and back into Uttarakhand at Kotdwar. It is a same-day move. We see BEL Kotdwar staff, defence families heading up to the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre at Lansdowne, and households from the Pauri hills settling in the town.

How the move works
- Free survey at your Dehradun address, in person or over video.
- Itemised written quote, usually the same day — the figure you are given is the figure you pay.
- Packing and loading by our team, using cartons, bubble wrap and crates rather than improvised materials.
- Transit of roughly 3.5–4 hrs to Kotdwar, with status updates by phone or WhatsApp; goods-in-transit insurance can be arranged.
- Unloading, reassembly and debris removal at the Kotdwar address.
Good to know for Kotdwar
- Kotdwar town is at the foot of the hills and takes a full truck. Lansdowne, about 40 km uphill past Dugadda, does not: we switch to a smaller vehicle for that climb.
- Lansdowne is a cantonment. Moves into service accommodation need the unit's movement order or entry permission arranged before the truck arrives at the gate.
- The route crosses into UP and back, which adds toll and border checks but no paperwork you need to handle. Morning loading still means an evening handover.
- Monsoon flash flooding in the Khoh river and the seasonal streams on the Najibabad side can hold traffic for a few hours in July and August. We avoid late-afternoon departures in those months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to move from Dehradun to Kotdwar?
A 1BHK move from Dehradun to Kotdwar costs ₹5,000–₹9,000 and a 2BHK ₹8,500–₹16,000. It is a same-day route, so there is no overnight cost unless you are going on to Lansdowne or Pauri.
Can you move us to Lansdowne?
Yes. Lansdowne is a hill road beyond Kotdwar, so we use a smaller vehicle for the last 40 km. For cantonment housing, share the entry permission or movement order at survey.
How long does a Dehradun to Kotdwar move take?
Packing and loading take 3–5 hours and the drive is 3.5–4 hours via Haridwar and Najibabad. A 1BHK or 2BHK is normally delivered the same evening.
Is there a shorter road from Dehradun to Kotdwar that avoids UP?
The internal road through the Rajaji forest is not a goods-vehicle route, so loaded trucks go via Najibabad. It is a little longer but the road is reliable and open round the year.
