This British-era Bungalow in Dehradun plays host to one of India’s most prominent Design Families

Hidden within one of the last few lychee orchards in the heart of Dehradun, the Kohlis enjoy al fresco breakfasts, lunches in the sun, and dinners in front of a blazing fire in a home for all seasons. Even as it lies at the foothills of the Himalayas in an intermontane valley, Dehradun, flanked by the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, sits at an elevation of 2,139 feet above sea level—a fact that lends it its mostly pleasant climate. The city was once known for its many fruit orchards and quiet way of life, but since being decreed the state capital of Uttarakhand in 2000, rampant overbuilding has changed the face of this once perfect mountain idyll.
