Maldevta is a beautiful place in the Doon valley. It is another picnic spot where friends, family, groups enjoy the calmness of the surroundings and enjoy the beauty of the nature. River song flows through Maldevta. Being covered by mountains on the sides the water of the river song feels as fresh as a daisy and the water is icy.

Maldevta is far from the city around 10-12 kilometers away. It is the way to Tehri district of Garhwal. The road to Maldevta is very beautiful and almost perfect. On the way to Maldevta is the famous Sports college, pump house and also the shooting range.

It is just few kilometers from Raipur. Raipur has major offices of Ordinance Factory Dehradun and Opto Electronic Factory. Pyrites, Phosphates and chemicals Limited(PPCL) was shut down in the early 2000’s but the name is still famous because of a hidden water fall. The water fall has a height of around 30 fts. and the place is very beautiful. To reach the waterfall is not easy and neither it is safe.

The village where PPCL is known as Thano and it is said that the forest region around the village has wild boars, wild bears which makes the place a little unsafe. This is the reason not many people know about the place nor many visit it. The place has witnessed quite a few accidents’ where people have paid through losing their lives.

There are lots of hidden places on the banks of the river which attract a lot of tourists. Maldevta farms is a farm where tourist camp on the river bank. The food at the place is delicious and nutritious too. The place has professionals to take care of the campaigners.

The best time to visit the place is during the peak of the summer season i.e. April to July. The hot sun and the cold icy water of the song river with a hot cup of tea is I guess the best combination for the summers. It is a must visit place for the tourist coming down to Dehradun else the trip will remain incomplete.
