What a grand campus. The moment you enter you will surprised by the grandeur and the frolic greenery all around you. Fresh air, tall trees will surely make your walk to the central part of campus much easier. The campus is huge and very picturesque. A good number of bollywood movies have been shot at this campus. There are various museums inside and quite easy to get lost in the big campus, so just keep a track of the streets inside. If you have a private vehicle, roaming around the huge campus would be pretty easy, else walking is the only option I found. Click lots of pictures, lots of greenery and a beautiful serene environment. Relax and enjoy the wow architecture. Its magnanimous. !!

The Tibetan Buddhist monastery, takes you to a different world. It boasts of one of the tallest statues of Lord Buddha in the whole of Asia. The temple and the statue are beautiful with intricate designs that truly depict the Tibetan culture. The vast open lawns make a good place for people to enjoy family picnics and the best part is that they take it most care that the premises remains clean. There are shops inside that sell decoratives, crockery and apparel which is really interesting. Had some great shopping experience here. There are restaurants near by that serve authentic Tibetan food. The surrounding is green with a thick jungle that makes the location even more beautiful. The place gives a sense of calm and is worth visiting.

Reviewed By JoyBoseRoy - Bengaluru, India
There is a silviculture museum, a museum covering different types of pests, a forest products museum covering products like medicines, wood products, gum, essential oils, ink etc, forest pathology museum covering how trees get destroyed by different diseases, a timber museum covering different kinds of timber products from the forests. The museums are truly world class and are useful for people researching in these areas, and also for general people. There is a single ticket for all the museums. One of the six museums was under renovation, so could see only 5 museums. Its a must see. Covers a wealth of information. Photos are not allowed inside most of the museums. Its located inside the campus of the beautiful FRI in Dehradun. Its a bit difficult to find them all so ask people if you need help to find them.
