Dehradun by Vikram


Dehradun by Vikram


What is a Vikram, you may well ask. Well, they are Dehradun’s unique public transport and the cheapest way to get around town. These vehicles are often crammed with around 8 passengers squeezing in. The Vikrams are numbered according to their routes through the city. Minimum fare is Rs. 4 and maximum is Rs. 10.
