The only war memorial of its kind in the world which was erected by the British to honour their foe, the Gurkhas (or the Gorkhas).
Khalanga War Memorial is a heritage monument in Dehradun, India, dedicated to the memory of Gorkha soldiers who fought the British in 1814 in the Battle of Nalapani, the first battle of the Anglo-Nepalese War. It has been described as the only monument in the history of warfare to have been erected by a victorious army for its adversaries, as the British were reportedly impressed with the valour of the Gorkhas. The structure falls under the aegis of the Archaeological Survey of India. Every year, a fair is held at the site to commemorate the soldiers and to celebrate Gorkha culture and history. The Gorkha rule in Uttarakhand, also known as "Gorkhyani" or the "Khukri Raj," occurred from roughly 1790 to 1815.

Robber's cave is a beautiful picnic spot. On display here is one of nature's strange phenomena; a stream of water goes underground here and reappears a few metres away. The cave is surrounded by hills and is a beautiful getaway for those looking for peace and quiet of the hills.
Built by the British, this remains the icon of the downtown area.
