Planet Bidholi - A Paradise On Earth

Zenith Youth Hostel is a place located amid the beautiful and diverse natural beauty. Here's a sneak peek into the location and the majestic views of Bidholi.

“The sound of the raindrops suddenly became louder when I came into my consciousness. Sitting at my balcony and listening to Coldplay while witnessing the layers of Blue hills, and the descending clouds leaving behind the white blanket in the sky was living a dream. I would sit on the railing waiting for the sun to come down and meet the Horizon with golden hue all over the sky. It was gods Painting and Bidholi happened to its Canvas.!!” – Akash Sengar

This is planet Bidholi. Nested on the foothills of Lower Shivalik range in Dehradun-Mussoorie Valley, this place never disappointed me. Situated at the altitude of about 950 meters above sea level, this place offers you an uninterrupted view of Shivalik range towards south east.

Majestic Himalayas in the backdrop, yon orange sunsets, pleasant breeze and a tranquil environment – Dehradun is all that and more.

The capital of Uttarakhand and the ‘education hub of India’, it is a pivot location for higher education in India.

Famous for adventure there are a lot of trekking points Bidholi offers. During rainy season, you can expect the clouds to enter your rooms and you can see upto 3 rainbows emerging behind a hill right before you. During winters, the snow on mountains makes it a view to die for, and then there is Maggie point and beautiful silent rivers from where you can see the entire valley making you feel alive again.

Dehradun is located at 2200 feet above sea level and has a moderate temperature throughout the year. The city is pollution free, and the average AQI is less than 50 at our campus of Zenith Youth Hostel in Bidholi.

Metro cities in India have an AQI of more than 200. Air pollution affects education, and as per studies, it equates to losing more than one year of education.

According to research titled “Air pollution, educational achievements, and human capital formation”, exposure to elevated levels of air pollution adversely affects the educational outcomes.

When we say Dehradun is a perfect paradise for learning – we mean it! And we also mean it when we say Zenith Youth Hostel is the place to embrace your stay while you learn! Climate as well as environment plays a significant role in education. According to a study published by Harvard, hot weather leads to a decrease in performance. Zenith Youth Hostel promises a very healthy and entertaining environment to its residents to help them with their holistic development and learning process.

Natural Beauty will always be the most perfect aspect which comes first when asked about Bidholi. Famous for its views of sunset, clouds, and snowfall over hathipao hill behind the college campus, maggie point, suicide point, river points for thrill and enjoyment, local restaurants for coffee and nooks for non-veg, Bidholi is a place completely different than rest of the world and thus is also sometimes referred to as “Planet Bidholi”. But why would one call this small unknown village a "planet"?? The reason is worth self-Realization. So let’s leave you hereby with some pictures and an opportunity to live the experience yourself.
