Reach Dehradun. Check in to your hotel. Freshen up.

Not extreme ones, but some small trekking routes are fun. River side walks and short hill trails felt peaceful. Nothing too wild though.
If you want Manali snowfall, Dehradun is not that place. Snow is rare here. For snow views, hills further up are better.
I chose a simple place during my Dehradun hotel booking near railway station. Easy check in. Markets and food stalls were just outside. Pretty convenient actually.
