[01:00] Have you seen real estate in Darun Goa up?
[01:00] So when I bought land here, it was
[01:02] up? So when I bought land here, it was 10,500 rupees per square yard.
[01:05] It has 10,500 rupees per square yard.
[01:07] It has shot up somewhere. Sometimes you hear people
[01:09] say this channel is brought to you by
[01:12] the 01 media network by Zerodha. With
[01:14] their support, I'll be helping you spend
[01:15] your money wisely.
[01:24] Today we have Samir on the channel.
[01:26] Samir set up his Airbnb and his cloud kitchen business from scratch in
[01:28] Dhadun. If you're a business owner like
[01:30] Samir, you need to know about Odo. Odo
[01:32] has a suite of 45 integrated apps and
[01:35] these apps are built in a way that they
[01:37] work really well together. So, let me
[01:39] explain it to you with an example. Say
[01:41] you are using a HubSpot today for your
[01:43] CRM. You're using a SAP for sales.
[01:45] You're using a Slack for internal team
[01:47] coms. None of these tools and apps work
[01:49] well together. But Odo's apps are
[01:51] designed in a way that your sales can
[01:54] update, your inventory, your accounting
[01:56] can update your CRM, your project
[01:58] updates can live alongside your internal
[02:00] team chats. You see where I'm going with
[02:03] team chats.
[02:03] You see where I'm going with this, right?
[02:04] So, when you get all of this, right?
[02:04] So, when you get all of their 45 apps onboarded, you will end up saving a lot of time and money.
[02:09] It's a great time to try ODO, by the way, because they're giving the first one app free for lifetime with unlimited hosting and unlimited support.
[02:18] You will find the link in the description to try Odo.
[02:19] Thank you Odo for sponsoring today's video.
[02:21] And if you're a business owner, go check out Odo.
[02:22] I have a lot of memories from Dhadun.
[02:24] But that's not what we're discussing.
[02:25] We're discussing real estate in Dhadun.
[02:27] And why are we discussing real estate in Daradun?
[02:29] Because well, if you're like me, I live in Delhi, NCR.
[02:32] And every time the winter sets in, I get uncomfortable and I start looking for ways to get out of the city and like move to another city.
[02:41] And this thought always crosses my mind that what are we doing in Delhi NCR in this air and how do we get out of here?
[02:47] I know my friends in Bangalore face the same trouble.
[02:48] Bangalore has no infrastructure.
[02:49] of the city is crumbling from a infra standpoint.
[02:51] Sony World Signal as we all know is forever under construction.
[02:56] There is the Silkboard junction that has its own Twitter handle.
[02:57] Um and the horror stories are never ending, right?
[03:01] There's a huge water problem.
[03:02] So needless to say,
[03:04] water problem.
[03:06] So needless to say, viewers of this channel will relate to how you all had this thought at some point that you want to get out of Bangalore, Delhi and the metros.
[03:12] Even Bombay for that matter has its own set of problems and then you start thinking that where do we want to go right and inadvertently Zhadun is somewhere on that list always and we have Samir today on the channel welcome Samir u Samir has not just he not just lives in Dhadun but he's built a life in Dharadun so he has a very interesting story he was a pilot he's a trained commercial pilot but now he runs a Airbnb in Dharadun along with a really good kitchen so he's also a chef and he runs an Airbnb be and he's built this from scratch.
[03:44] Maybe you can tell us a little bit about your timeline on when you moved to Derun.
[03:47] What were you doing before that?
[03:49] Just a little story.
[03:51] I was actually one of those people who lives in Delhi NCR and then dreams of moving to Dadun or somewhere else.
[03:55] I was living in Delhi.
[03:58] I lived in civil lines in Delhi and then uh my parents were wanted to live in Dadun and we were deciding that maybe we should have one house in Dadun.
[04:03] So that was
[04:05] have one house in Dadun.
[04:08] So that was mostly the appeal for me and then while we were doing this I kind of made a switch of uh instead of pursuing aviation I decided to uh you know become a chef and then while then the chef thing kind of took off and then I decided that I can open a BNB as well.
[04:22] So just like by slowly steadily piecing things small things together there's this puzzle that was made which is now like my life in Dadub which is like running a cloud kitchen which is specialized cloud kitchen and then also running a BNB.
[04:36] Your BNB is called Lal Koti right it's on Instagram for those of you who are curious you should go check it out it's beautiful.
[04:42] What's your kitchen called?
[04:44] It's called Nachis.
[04:46] So the cloud kitchen is called Nachis.
[04:46] It's a specialized uh slowcooked food cloud kitchen where um I cook mugllay ai cuisine which is a specialtity.
[04:55] And then the BNB is also a specialtity BNB where it's for people who are looking to get away from like want some quiet and then want the nice pretty place a nice view and then some hikes and trails to walk
[05:07] And then some hikes and trails to walk on and then great food.
[05:09] So like it's a food special BNB.
[05:11] So the kind of food that I cook is Aadi cuisine and that's the specialty of this B&D is for people for whom with like when they're traveling food is very important to them.
[05:19] So I've curated a whole menu and yeah so all the famous dishes of nachis are available at Loti.
[05:27] So you moved there in 2019 right just before the pandemic.
[05:32] How have you seen the real estate landscape shift from 2019 to now 2025?
[05:37] Have you seen an increase in prices?
[05:39] Have you seen real estate in Darun go up?
[05:41] Yeah, it's it's shot up quite significantly.
[05:43] Uh especially I think post pandemic it's shot up quite significantly.
[05:48] I think it's almost tripled and quadrupled in in many places.
[05:52] I think the area that I live in it's become five or six times now.
[05:54] But yeah like I think post pandemic there's a lot of interest in a place like Dadun which is not too far away from Delhi.
[06:02] Um so I think right after the pandemic a lot of people were looking for like a quieter place.
[06:05] Um especially with work
[06:07] quieter place.
[06:09] Um especially with work from home becoming a reality then it from home becoming a reality then it this became like a great place to come.
[06:10] this became like a great place to come cuz connectivity wise it's a great place.
[06:12] cuz connectivity wise it's a great place to move.
[06:14] So yeah so it's become so there's a huge boom that's happened.
[06:15] there's a huge boom that's happened here.
[06:17] Tell me something where do you.
[06:19] here. Tell me something where do you where do you stay in Dadun and if you can walk me through the map of Dadun.
[06:21] like Sure.
[06:25] So Dadun I can I can divide the place at like northeast west south.
[06:28] and then uh I live in northwest side of Dadun.
[06:31] uh which is closer to Msuri.
[06:34] uh and then um I think east side is where the airport is the east side has the airport.
[06:38] so there's little growth happening there and then the very interesting things happening there.
[06:40] where is the airport where exactly it's kind of between Dadun and Rishies.
[06:42] So it's east of Derdun and then uh sort of southeast actually of Derdun.
[06:43] and then uh it's called Jolli.
[06:45] You're saying there are opportunities here around Jolly Grant.
[06:47] What are these areas?
[06:49] Yeah.
[06:52] So around Jolly Grant there's this huge farmland which I don't know like how much of that is residential or not but what has happened is uh since the
[07:08] what has happened is uh since the airport is now becoming international.
[07:10] airport is now becoming international now.
[07:13] So especially with these pockets of religious tourism that's happened in Uttarakhand which is what the government is trying to promote um where the Chardham Yatra is there Rishies is there Harido is there um so that they're making it an international airport it's already a domestic airport but they built a new terminal and now the international airport is supposed to start.
[07:31] Dara is the village which where the airport is and around Dwara in any direction that you'll go you see like a lot of land like you know uh uh sort of people building the houses there or some gated colonies coming up for the other.
[07:45] that was actually going to be my next question then how does one navigate this because it feels like it's very unorganized right the whole area so when you were doing this back in 2019 how were you doing it you were literally going and talking to land owners or did you have a broker or did you have like a realtor how were you doing it and how would you propose somebody else does it?
[08:03] The first time that I had gone, I made a trip with my father from Delhi and then uh we just went and started asking you.
[08:11] uh we just went and started asking you know.
[08:13] know property and he was just asking hey land.
[08:16] property and he was just asking hey land or something just asking them the land.
[08:18] or something just asking them the land thrives and uh yeah like we had no idea.
[08:21] all we just wanted was okay let's just start and then see where it goes and uh.
[08:23] start and then see where it goes and uh what I realized was that we were looking.
[08:26] what I realized was that we were looking in the city and the city was already.
[08:28] in the city and the city was already very saturated what I really was looking.
[08:29] very saturated what I really was looking for was like a quieter.
[08:31] uh something a little in the outskirts.
[08:33] and then I started looking for land in the outskirts and yeah just I think just.
[08:35] and then I started looking for land in the outskirts and yeah just I think just just talking to a lot of people uh you know whoever I would get in touch with.
[08:37] know whoever I would get in touch with if someone bought land here and there I would ask them who who did they buy land from is there any land available and.
[08:40] then this this started with that and then what I realized was like if person yes.
[08:42] then what I realized was like if person yes you are that person for me today Sam.
[08:44] you are that person for me today Sam tell me who did you buy land from give me that secret guy's number I also want to call.
[08:45] tell me who did you buy land from give me that secret guy's number I also want to call.
[08:47] So yeah, it was just a lot of research.
[08:49] I mean, it's a kind of a passion project.
[08:52] You can't do it's one of not it's not one of those things um that you can just like go and like look for.
[08:54] it's not one of those things um that you can just like go and like look for.
[09:12] can just like go and like look for developers.
[09:13] I mean especially if you're looking for the kind of land that I was looking for.
[09:16] which was a little more unorthodox and like you know it has to be far away from the city has to be a quieter area.
[09:20] So these areas are unorganized and this is probably what I can give you the most information on.
[09:26] otherwise I mean there are the standard developers that you can go to in in their adun and there are plenty of them.
[09:30] They're making flats and all sorts of things.
[09:33] There's Max Estates which has come up which is doing quite nicely here.
[09:35] But I think uh where the real sort of um I mean where my interest was was really in these other outside parcels of land.
[09:43] which is like sometimes agricultural areas closer to the forest closer to rivers and for that you actually need to just go and spend time in that city and make a few trips and then try to understand who bought land there.
[09:55] You know sometimes you just go on a site visit while you're looking for land and you see someone who's actually getting construction done and you go and speak up.
[10:01] So you you know you go and talk to them and then you find out a little about them.
[10:05] Then you find out about the local Padhan who's who's the Pwari there.
[10:08] These are like little ts that I got to know once I started looking for land.
[10:10] There's a Pwari who's very
[10:14] land. There's a Pwari who's very influential.
[10:15] The Pradhan is very influential.
[10:15] The Pradhan is very influential of the Gao.
[10:17] Then Pradhan influential of the Gao.
[10:17] Then Pradhan might introduce you to someone then you might introduce you to someone then you start like you know he he'll send you with someone and they'll tell you about the land a little bit.
[10:25] Where was your land finally?
[10:25] Where did you buy it?
[10:27] So I bought it in U.
[10:32] This is northwest of Dadun.
[10:32] Yeah.
[10:35] Um and I see it on the map.
[10:35] Yeah.
[10:38] And it is uh so Rajpur road is the arterial road in Dadun which everyone knows.
[10:43] Um and this is kind of the road which connects uh the heart of the city which is the clock tower Dadun to Rajpur Gao which is north of Dadun.
[10:51] So along this road uh you know there's all the major development that's happened all the malls that that are mostly there um any kind of uh societies that have come up is mostly there all the restaurants all the things that happen here mostly so Bishkar is approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from Rajput road by road so this was kind of the perfect like
[11:14] this was kind of the perfect like balance which I needed because I wanted something in the outskirts but not too far away from the city so anything that you have to go for in the city it's just been 15 minutes drive away.
[11:24] and now I'm seeing Bishka there is Antara Dehadun very close by and is the max senior living residences which I see is really close by from Bishko so I'm assuming Bishka is not too obscure.
[11:35] second thing that I see in Bishka is that there are a lot of farm stays luxury boutiques Airbnbs like so many of them uh around this area so it it it looks like you were somewhat an early mover in in the BNB space and like this just peppered with so many of them.
[11:51] What's the land price now in Bishkao and do you think it's a good time to buy in Bishka or do you think now there are other opportunities available elsewhere?
[12:00] I think Bishka has probably become too expensive now out of reach for a lot of people.
[12:03] Uh when I moved here it was uh pretty empty and I think I was one of the few people like who kind of saw like okay this is like a nice place and like not too many people.
[12:13] Unfortunately a lot
[12:16] not too many people.
[12:17] Unfortunately a lot of people right after me also thought of people right after me also thought the same way.
[12:21] So now uh yeah it's while the same way.
[12:23] So now uh yeah it's while I was building the house and and the BNB a lot of people like were doing the same.
[12:28] and then uh suddenly like while I was building the house every every 10th day that I would go I would see oh someone has bought land here and like now there's there's some development coming.
[12:35] here some some resort is coming up and some BNB is coming up.
[12:39] So now obviously like it's it's it's peppered with like a lot of farmland actually there are a lot of farm houses here a lot of people from Delhi MCR and people who had a connection to Geralam they have their farm houses here.
[12:50] there is a lot of uh forest area here so development can't happen in some areas thankfully so so yeah so a lot of farmland uh and a lot of protected forest so when I bought land here it was around um around I think 10,500 rupees per square yard and now I think it has shot up uh around I think somewhere sometimes you hear people say 55 sometimes you hear people
[13:18] people say 55 sometimes you hear people say 65 is what people have bought at now.
[13:20] say 65 is what people have bought at now here so it's gone easily like five to.
[13:23] here so it's gone easily like five to six six times within the last 3 years I.
[13:25] six six times within the last 3 years I would say madness.
[13:27] would say madness that is madness yeah I mean it was it.
[13:30] that is madness yeah I mean it was it was crazy to hear I would just I would.
[13:31] was crazy to hear I would just I would just think yeah like I was quite lucky.
[13:33] just think yeah like I was quite lucky to buy at the right time and I could see.
[13:35] to buy at the right time and I could see it like because when I started looking.
[13:37] it like because when I started looking for land it was around 55 5500 then it.
[13:40] for land it was around 55 5500 then it became 6,500 then it became 7077 you.
[13:44] became 6,500 then it became 7077 you know 80 and now okay I have to like I.
[13:45] know 80 and now okay I have to like I had to really into hurry I can't this.
[13:47] had to really into hurry I can't this can't be like a passion.
[13:49] can't be like a passion project where there's no timeline and.
[13:51] project where there's no timeline and such so very quickly things were.
[13:53] such so very quickly things were escalating and then I think 10 is when I.
[13:55] escalating and then I think 10 is when I bought and now it becomes 60 65.
[13:58] bought and now it becomes 60 65 sometimes you hear 70 or so but who.
[13:59] sometimes you hear 70 or so but who knows like if people are actually buying.
[14:01] knows like if people are actually buying for that much or people are just these.
[14:02] for that much or people are just these are the numbers which people are quoting.
[14:04] are the numbers which people are quoting now I I think we are clear that bishkcom.
[14:06] now I I think we are clear that bishkcom is not where somebody's buying Now we if.
[14:08] is not where somebody's buying Now we if we want to go experience Bishgam we go.
[14:10] we want to go experience Bishgam we go come and stay at your Airbnb. I don't.
[14:11] come and stay at your Airbnb. I don't think I'm going to buy it. Where do I.
[14:13] think I'm going to buy it. Where do I buy now? Tell me that Samir. What so is.
[14:16] buy now? Tell me that Samir. What so is Dara? What are the rates in Dara like?
[14:18] Dara? What are the rates in Dara like?
[14:18] Do you know broadly?
[14:20] Are they are they 10,000 rain?
[14:23] I I have I have no idea now about Dara because Dara I think this is this is probably the story in all of Dadun.
[14:27] Now what has happened is there's been a growth in every direction in Dadun.
[14:31] So city is where everything was and then people are slowly moving on the outskirts and um so like the last 3 four years I think the growth has happened in all of these gauss which are surrounding Dadun.
[14:46] So the further away that you go from there from from the Dadum main city how further the Gao is from Dadum main city is how cheaper the land would be.
[14:52] Sorry it's still not too bad because if you come to think of it your best G is only 15 minutes away from say Arashpur road right?
[14:59] Yes.
[15:01] Just if I go 30 minutes further, 15 minutes further down, are there areas there or like further down there are there areas that you know of?
[15:08] Yeah.
[15:08] Yeah.
[15:08] Yeah.
[15:10] So like around Bishka uh so there's a cluster of these Gauss called Bishka, Gunal Gao, Purkul where Antara senior living is and all these other fancy things have come up now and
[15:19] other fancy things have come up now and I think this is now probably too expensive now.
[15:23] uh but if you go a little further away which is what you just have to go and there are small I mean there are just g like I think Kimari is one which is still kind of what people talk about a lot which is very close to bishka I see which I think it's around 10 minutes from Kimari there is some place called Kimari point Kimari Masoudi view yeah yeah which is like you know people in Nadun who lived who have lived here this is the place which was like completely obscure but now like it's become like where people are looking for land now and you just have to travel there and kind of go and talk to children and just find out at any day I don't know at what point will this get uploaded but whenever people go there what my figure is right now to compare to what they'll find out there it will be completely different what do you I mean would probably be around I think uh probably 15 to 20 is what I would guess uh compared to like what like I mean I keep hearing about I think my guess would be anything
[16:19] About, I think my guess would be anything between 15 to 20, but land also depends.
[16:22] Between 15 to 20, but land also depends on if it is a flat land, if it is on a hill.
[16:24] So if it's on a slope, it'll probably be cheaper.
[16:26] And then what you have to spend money on is on a retaining wall and like leveling that land and everything.
[16:29] Yeah, it's it's mostly I think what you have to do is you just have to go and travel and then see, okay, is this land good for me or not?
[16:37] Got it. And I know you get this question a lot.
[16:39] Anybody who comes to your Airbnb, they ask him the same question.
[16:41] So one recommendation is Kimari.
[16:46] Where what else do you recommend them?
[16:48] Where else can they go?
[16:50] Uh, Kimari, I would say just go.
[16:52] I mean, Kimari is a broader area.
[16:56] You just have to go by car and then you just have to find out key like there's just land everywhere.
[16:58] It's just that like you'll have to go and ask.
[16:59] These are people who are like village dwellers basically.
[17:01] And now because the land prices have shot up, like some of them are in a position where they want to sell, some of them want to retain it.
[17:03] So it just depends if something comes up or not.
[17:04] Then there are local dealers in all these gauss.
[17:06] There's probably like a local guy who's who kind of the middleman in this where.
[17:20] who kind of the middleman in this where he has a good relationship with the with.
[17:22] he has a good relationship with the with the v with the with the people who are the v with the with the people who are like the locals and then he will be your contact point and you can ask him what the prices here and he'll go talk to them.
[17:30] So there are probably like five brothers who want to sell it together so he'll go talk to them and he'll do all that paperwork and everything.
[17:35] So you want someone like that and then I think south of Derdun which is closer to Delhi is like when you enter Dadun if you're coming from Delhi that area also there is just plenty of like like farmland.
[17:45] So what you need to find out is what land is name the area name the area I can't I don't remember the name but like just area wise I just know that like uhala doi doala harawala lachiala like these are all areas where like where where like I know people are building their houses there like I now like that I built a house like people contact me hey can you find me an architect can you find me an interior designer so then they tell me where they're building where they're building their house so I know like in south of there yeah.
[18:15] basically All the wallas bunny wala lachi walla mis walla kala what are
[18:21] lachi walla mis walla kala what are these walla then there's also proximity
[18:23] these walla then there's also proximity to chandigar so pont sahib is like a
[18:26] to chandigar so pont sahib is like a midpoint and then closer to pont sahib
[18:29] midpoint and then closer to pont sahib is also where like sakuni is another ga
[18:31] is also where like sakuni is another ga where like people I know build their
[18:33] where like people I know build their farm houses and stuff but what I would
[18:35] farm houses and stuff but what I would suggest is like you would probably want
[18:37] suggest is like you would probably want something which is closer to like a
[18:39] something which is closer to like a protected forest or something because
[18:41] protected forest or something because otherwise then you're just like
[18:42] otherwise then you're just like eventually what will happen is it'll
[18:44] eventually what will happen is it'll look like gura or delhi or something
[18:45] look like gura or delhi or something eventually.
[18:45] So the smarter thing to do
[18:48] is to look for land which is kind of you
[18:50] is to look for land which is kind of you know positioned in a way the location as
[18:52] know positioned in a way the location as like they say location location
[18:54] like they say location location location.
[18:54] So location has to be
[18:55] location. So location has to be somewhere where you don't see
[18:58] somewhere where you don't see mushrooming.
[18:58] So then my next question is
[19:00] what are these protected
[19:02] what are these protected forests?
[19:02] Like for example keep me honest
[19:05] but this Liiala Diala and all doesn't
[19:07] seem like it's around the protected
[19:09] forest is it?
[19:09] uh Latia there's a huge
[19:12] protected forest there but yeah like you
[19:15] protected forest there but yeah like you have to travel like at least I know
[19:16] have to travel like at least I know about Bishka which is like what I kind
[19:18] of narrowed down on for many reasons it
[19:20] looked like for whatever I wanted to do
[19:23] looked like for whatever I wanted to do like this area northwest side of the.
[19:25] like this area northwest side of the Radun is what I was mostly looking at so.
[19:27] Radun is what I was mostly looking at so yeah there are parcels of these.
[19:28] yeah there are parcels of these protected forest called s forests so.
[19:30] protected forest called s forests so anything close to that is what I was.
[19:32] anything close to that is what I was looking for I mean sal is a tree.
[19:34] looking for I mean sal is a tree basically they're not like there's no.
[19:36] basically they're not like there's no name for the forest as such but yeah.
[19:38] name for the forest as such but yeah like there's just a lot of protected sal.
[19:40] like there's just a lot of protected sal forest And if you see like a lot of land.
[19:42] forest And if you see like a lot of land where like like you know on a large area.
[19:44] where like like you know on a large area yeah in a cluster basically it's.
[19:45] yeah in a cluster basically it's probably protected forest. But what you.
[19:47] probably protected forest. But what you can do is you can go and look at the.
[19:49] can do is you can go and look at the MDDA MDDA is the sort of civil body and.
[19:52] MDDA MDDA is the sort of civil body and you can go full look for land and there.
[19:55] you can go full look for land and there it is marked uh what areas protected.
[19:58] it is marked uh what areas protected forest what area is residential what.
[19:59] forest what area is residential what areas agricultural land and there you.
[20:01] areas agricultural land and there you can kind of study these maps which was.
[20:03] can kind of study these maps which was very helpful for me which is what I'd.
[20:05] very helpful for me which is what I'd done. So there are these different zones.
[20:06] done. So there are these different zones which the Radun district is divided into.
[20:09] which the Radun district is divided into and the district that I was looking into.
[20:11] and the district that I was looking into I would go and I would kind of study.
[20:12] I would go and I would kind of study that map and kind of see okay where is.
[20:14] that map and kind of see okay where is the river where is the credit forest so.
[20:16] the river where is the credit forest so you there's a key to that map and you.
[20:18] you there's a key to that map and you can kind of study that map and kind of.
[20:19] can kind of study that map and kind of figure out oh very cool I did not know.
[20:21] figure out oh very cool I did not know this so did you do all this research.
[20:23] this so did you do all this research while you were buying the house like I
[20:25] while you were buying the house like I had I had some time on my hands because
[20:27] had I had some time on my hands because I was planning to uh you know go back to
[20:29] I was planning to uh you know go back to Canada that so whatever time I had I was
[20:31] Canada that so whatever time I had I was kind of looking for this only play so so
[20:34] kind of looking for this only play so so yeah so I would just look at the map and
[20:35] yeah so I would just look at the map and then kind of zoom in and then kind of
[20:37] then kind of zoom in and then kind of see what it is. Um, and there's no like
[20:40] see what it is. Um, and there's no like there are different kasras basically in
[20:42] there are different kasras basically in this land. So every area is marked by a
[20:44] this land. So every area is marked by a kasra. When you'll eventually buy a
[20:46] kasra. When you'll eventually buy a land, it'll probably be kasra wise. So
[20:48] land, it'll probably be kasra wise. So like my kasra might be 536, 527 or
[20:52] like my kasra might be 536, 527 or something like that. And then what how
[20:54] something like that. And then what how is it marked on that map? You know, is
[20:56] is it marked on that map? You know, is it marked with uh as a agricultural
[20:59] it marked with uh as a agricultural land? Is it marked as residential land?
[21:02] land? Is it marked as residential land? So one thing is residential land. uh
[21:04] So one thing is residential land. uh which is called R3. Now R three is it
[21:07] which is called R3. Now R three is it would have been uh an agriculture land
[21:09] would have been uh an agriculture land back in the day but now uh it's
[21:12] back in the day but now uh it's residential and now yeah this is
[21:14] residential and now yeah this is something probably very important that
[21:15] something probably very important that your viewers might want to know if it's
[21:17] your viewers might want to know if it's agricultural land in Uttakhand then if
[21:19] agricultural land in Uttakhand then if you are not from Uttaka or your
[21:21] you are not from Uttaka or your ancestors were not land owners in
[21:22] ancestors were not land owners in Uttakhan then you probably can't buy
[21:24] Uttakhan then you probably can't buy agricultural land more than 300 square
[21:27] agricultural land more than 300 square yards so that narrows down something for
[21:29] yards so that narrows down something for you basically you know you're
[21:31] you basically you know you're disqualified if you want to buy a big
[21:32] disqualified if you want to buy a big parcel of land then agricultural land
[21:34] parcel of land then agricultural land you can't buy more three are by arts. Um
[21:38] you can't buy more three are by arts. Um and oh residential area you can buy as
[21:41] and oh residential area you can buy as much as you want. So if it's an R3 land
[21:43] much as you want. So if it's an R3 land then you don't have that restriction but
[21:45] then you don't have that restriction but if it is agricultural land on the map if
[21:48] if it is agricultural land on the map if that's what it's marked as then you
[21:50] that's what it's marked as then you can't buy more than 300 square yards at
[21:52] can't buy more than 300 square yards at least no one in your family can. So
[21:54] least no one in your family can. So interesting. So you're saying that all
[21:56] interesting. So you're saying that all of these protected forest areas which
[21:57] of these protected forest areas which are there by the way a quick Google
[21:59] are there by the way a quick Google search shows a lot of different
[22:00] search shows a lot of different protected forest areas. There's Raja Gi
[22:02] protected forest areas. There's Raja Gi National. There is Derodun Forest
[22:03] National. There is Derodun Forest Division which has Assari, Malhan,
[22:05] Division which has Assari, Malhan, Lachiwala, the one you're spoking
[22:07] Lachiwala, the one you're spoking speaking about. Malci, which is another
[22:09] speaking about. Malci, which is another big one. Y Janjara, Tano, Barcot, uh,
[22:13] big one. Y Janjara, Tano, Barcot, uh, Smiti one and I can just go on there's a
[22:16] Smiti one and I can just go on there's a full list even on on search. Um, and so
[22:20] full list even on on search. Um, and so you're saying first identify these
[22:21] you're saying first identify these forest areas because ideally you don't
[22:23] forest areas because ideally you don't want this to become another metro 10
[22:25] want this to become another metro 10 years down the line and therefore these
[22:26] years down the line and therefore these forest areas do that. After that, once
[22:28] forest areas do that. After that, once you've identified these forest areas,
[22:29] you've identified these forest areas, when you're looking for particular land
[22:31] when you're looking for particular land parcels, make sure it's not an
[22:32] parcels, make sure it's not an agricultural land because if it is an
[22:34] agricultural land because if it is an agricultural land, you can't buy more
[22:35] agricultural land, you can't buy more than 300 square yards of it unless you
[22:38] than 300 square yards of it unless you are from Uttarakhand or your ancestors
[22:39] are from Uttarakhand or your ancestors are from Uttarakhand and therefore look
[22:40] are from Uttarakhand and therefore look for R3 land, which is a residential type
[22:42] for R3 land, which is a residential type of land. No, I mean R1. No, I don't I
[22:46] of land. No, I mean R1. No, I don't I don't know if there's R1, R2. Uh uh I
[22:50] don't know if there's R1, R2. Uh uh I think if you're looking for something
[22:51] think if you're looking for something which is 300 square yards, so then it's
[22:53] which is 300 square yards, so then it's fine and you can just buy agricultural
[22:54] fine and you can just buy agricultural land. uh there just only another added
[22:57] land. uh there just only another added problem with with the agricultural land
[22:59] problem with with the agricultural land is that MDDDA might not pass your naksha
[23:02] is that MDDDA might not pass your naksha your map basically for your house. So
[23:05] your map basically for your house. So that is an added difficulty that comes
[23:07] that is an added difficulty that comes in in buying these name. So the thing is
[23:09] in in buying these name. So the thing is it is it is quite beautiful to live in
[23:11] it is it is quite beautiful to live in these areas and but there's also like a
[23:14] these areas and but there's also like a lot of like there's a final boss which
[23:16] lot of like there's a final boss which is called MDDDA after you've done all
[23:19] is called MDDDA after you've done all the all the hard work of kind of going
[23:22] the all the hard work of kind of going there and talking to the patwari and
[23:23] there and talking to the patwari and doing this and doing that. Finally your
[23:26] doing this and doing that. Finally your house has to be passed by MDDA. Now MDDA
[23:28] house has to be passed by MDDA. Now MDDA is famously very opaque.
[23:31] is famously very opaque. So there are no clear rules in how to
[23:33] So there are no clear rules in how to get this done. You just have to be very
[23:34] get this done. You just have to be very persistent in finding out like some jan
[23:37] persistent in finding out like some jan kachan or like you have to just knock on
[23:38] kachan or like you have to just knock on their doors quite a lot and then either
[23:41] their doors quite a lot and then either one way people do is they just build the
[23:43] one way people do is they just build the house and then what happens is when the
[23:45] house and then what happens is when the MDDA guy comes then they bribe them or
[23:48] MDDA guy comes then they bribe them or do something like that or what they do
[23:50] do something like that or what they do is there's a penalty that that that is
[23:52] is there's a penalty that that that is levied on you and you just pay that
[23:54] levied on you and you just pay that penalty and then they kind of convert
[23:56] penalty and then they kind of convert your house because like I mean all the
[23:58] your house because like I mean all the people who are living in the Gauss I
[23:59] people who are living in the Gauss I mean they have their own houses so none
[24:01] mean they have their own houses so none of them pass that napa anyway. So it's
[24:03] of them pass that napa anyway. So it's not that they're going to come and
[24:04] not that they're going to come and demolish it, but you can run into all
[24:06] demolish it, but you can run into all sorts of trouble. So I think the penalty
[24:09] sorts of trouble. So I think the penalty is probably 1.5 times um of some value.
[24:13] is probably 1.5 times um of some value. I'm forgetting what that is, but yeah,
[24:14] I'm forgetting what that is, but yeah, like you have to pay like a significant
[24:16] like you have to pay like a significant penalty, which is what a lot of people
[24:17] penalty, which is what a lot of people are like willing to do. But if you can
[24:20] are like willing to do. But if you can like try and speak to the local people
[24:22] like try and speak to the local people here who built house here like how did
[24:24] here who built house here like how did they get their
[24:27] land getting the
[24:29] land getting the map? So that is the added thing that you
[24:31] map? So that is the added thing that you have to do. So basically MDD is like the
[24:33] have to do. So basically MDD is like the big boss who is going to make all kinds
[24:37] big boss who is going to make all kinds of like you can't even put a finger on
[24:39] of like you can't even put a finger on what the issues are going to be because
[24:41] what the issues are going to be because you don't know what they're going to be
[24:42] you don't know what they're going to be because it's opaque like you said. So be
[24:44] because it's opaque like you said. So be ready for MDDA and make sure that you
[24:47] ready for MDDA and make sure that you have them on your side as you're getting
[24:49] have them on your side as you're getting your approvals done as you're thinking
[24:50] your approvals done as you're thinking of your land and don't just follow a
[24:52] of your land and don't just follow a blind person like somebody on the street
[24:55] blind person like somebody on the street who tells you something. Check with
[24:56] who tells you something. Check with MDDA. Yes. Yes.
[24:58] MDDA. Yes. Yes. check with MD MDA will not be involved
[25:00] check with MD MDA will not be involved in buying the land part but if you want
[25:02] in buying the land part but if you want to build something on it uh so when you
[25:05] to build something on it uh so when you want to build something on it there are
[25:07] want to build something on it there are different u things that you can do I
[25:10] different u things that you can do I mean one once I think when I was
[25:12] mean one once I think when I was building the house I think u what I had
[25:14] building the house I think u what I had heard was that if you're building
[25:15] heard was that if you're building something with natural materials uh then
[25:18] something with natural materials uh then you don't need MDDS permission to build
[25:20] you don't need MDDS permission to build on a farmland which is a lot of what
[25:22] on a farmland which is a lot of what what some some people do is they'll they
[25:25] what some some people do is they'll they use like um I think lime and there's a
[25:29] use like um I think lime and there's a mix like there's a there certain uh
[25:31] mix like there's a there certain uh materials that you use to build houses
[25:33] materials that you use to build houses which you don't need MDDS permission
[25:35] which you don't need MDDS permission for. So if you're building like an eco
[25:37] for. So if you're building like an eco kind of house eco-friendly house then
[25:39] kind of house eco-friendly house then you might not need an MDDS permission.
[25:42] you might not need an MDDS permission. There are barriers to entry from what
[25:43] There are barriers to entry from what I'm understanding from you. It's not so
[25:45] I'm understanding from you. It's not so simplistic to just like sit in a
[25:47] simplistic to just like sit in a Bangalore and come and buy land here uh
[25:50] Bangalore and come and buy land here uh in one trip. You will have to make
[25:51] in one trip. You will have to make multiple trips. You'll have to talk to
[25:52] multiple trips. You'll have to talk to multiple locals, multiple officials to
[25:55] multiple locals, multiple officials to finally make that cut. You could at best
[25:57] finally make that cut. You could at best identify a few areas uh remotely but
[26:00] identify a few areas uh remotely but even then you once you have to go there
[26:02] even then you once you have to go there and do multiple trips to actually find
[26:04] and do multiple trips to actually find something which is one not very
[26:05] something which is one not very expensive otherwise you can find
[26:07] expensive otherwise you can find something in the city right go buy
[26:08] something in the city right go buy something in Dalan and good luck yeah
[26:11] something in Dalan and good luck yeah and you can buy something in Dalwala you
[26:13] and you can buy something in Dalwala you can also buy something in Purul you know
[26:14] can also buy something in Purul you know Purul and Bishko even here like there
[26:16] Purul and Bishko even here like there are R3 there are areas which are passed
[26:19] are R3 there are areas which are passed as R3 so when I was looking for land
[26:21] as R3 so when I was looking for land there was an area called web farms in
[26:23] there was an area called web farms in Purul and Weber farms was this uh was is
[26:25] Purul and Weber farms was this uh was is a sort of not exactly like a gated
[26:28] a sort of not exactly like a gated colony but it was like a colony which
[26:30] colony but it was like a colony which was R3 pass. It was slightly more
[26:32] was R3 pass. It was slightly more expensive but it had some beautiful
[26:34] expensive but it had some beautiful houses inside. They quite spacious and
[26:36] houses inside. They quite spacious and big enough. The area was quite
[26:37] big enough. The area was quite beautiful. It was right next to Antara
[26:39] beautiful. It was right next to Antara which was quite nice. Um and then uh
[26:43] which was quite nice. Um and then uh that is something that you could buy but
[26:44] that is something that you could buy but it is slightly more expensive but I
[26:46] it is slightly more expensive but I think still worth the price because now
[26:48] think still worth the price because now you don't have to go through the hassle
[26:50] you don't have to go through the hassle of finding out if you will get water
[26:52] of finding out if you will get water supply here or not if will come here or
[26:54] supply here or not if will come here or not. the deed and the deed and all of
[26:56] not. the deed and the deed and all of that is clear in this case you know that
[26:58] that is clear in this case you know that what you're getting into somebody else
[26:59] what you're getting into somebody else has done the ground work for you they've
[27:00] has done the ground work for you they've gotten you all the nakshas commission
[27:02] gotten you all the nakshas commission everything is done for and you're just
[27:03] everything is done for and you're just buying any other such projects like this
[27:07] buying any other such projects like this webhar farms that you mentioned any
[27:08] webhar farms that you mentioned any other that come to mind web farms is a
[27:10] other that come to mind web farms is a locality it's not like a project but
[27:12] locality it's not like a project but yeah like max I think max estates is
[27:15] yeah like max I think max estates is like a like a project which had come up
[27:18] like a like a project which had come up uh they built north of the Radun in
[27:21] uh they built north of the Radun in Rajpur area uh they built a very fancy
[27:24] Rajpur area uh they built a very fancy U um you know gated colony called Max
[27:27] U um you know gated colony called Max Estates. Um now I I don't know what the
[27:31] Estates. Um now I I don't know what the price is what price they're selling at
[27:33] price is what price they're selling at now but I remember like 3 four years ago
[27:36] now but I remember like 3 four years ago I heard something like 2CR is what the
[27:40] I heard something like 2CR is what the what the going rate for a Bangladesh
[27:41] what the going rate for a Bangladesh was. Now again these are these are big
[27:43] was. Now again these are these are big houses. I'm seeing these they are like
[27:46] houses. I'm seeing these they are like four BHK like they're four BHK villas
[27:49] four BHK like they're four BHK villas almost 3,000 4,000 ft² right? Yep. Yep.
[27:52] almost 3,000 4,000 ft² right? Yep. Yep. I'll check the pricing one sec. Oh 2 K
[27:55] I'll check the pricing one sec. Oh 2 K you said right? Right now it's according
[27:56] you said right? Right now it's according to a real estate portal it starts at
[27:58] to a real estate portal it starts at 5CR. Okay that's yeah I mean that's
[28:02] 5CR. Okay that's yeah I mean that's general how it is inund like sorry just
[28:04] general how it is inund like sorry just to complete this point on max estate
[28:05] to complete this point on max estate right they have about uh even if you
[28:08] right they have about uh even if you look at the per square ft charges it's
[28:10] look at the per square ft charges it's about 12,500 per square ft for a house
[28:13] about 12,500 per square ft for a house that big in Rajpur road is not a bad
[28:14] that big in Rajpur road is not a bad deal actually given what prices are in
[28:17] deal actually given what prices are in Bangalore and uh Guram right 12,500 is
[28:20] Bangalore and uh Guram right 12,500 is not bad at all. Yep. Yep. And Max does a
[28:23] not bad at all. Yep. Yep. And Max does a very I know Max has stayed correct. I
[28:25] very I know Max has stayed correct. I was just going to say that that it'll be
[28:27] was just going to say that that it'll be really well done like it'll be top tier
[28:29] really well done like it'll be top tier quality of construction. Yeah. Yeah. And
[28:32] quality of construction. Yeah. Yeah. And it is very green inside. I think they
[28:33] it is very green inside. I think they protected a lot of trees while they were
[28:35] protected a lot of trees while they were building in this on this land which is
[28:37] building in this on this land which is probably what you want. You don't want
[28:39] probably what you want. You don't want something that you already had in Gorga
[28:41] something that you already had in Gorga or what you had in Bangalore already.
[28:42] or what you had in Bangalore already. You want like a a developer who is
[28:45] You want like a a developer who is looking
[28:46] looking into like a nice park and like
[28:48] into like a nice park and like protecting the trees that were already
[28:50] protecting the trees that were already there. any other land areas inside the
[28:53] there. any other land areas inside the city that you think are opportunities
[28:55] city that you think are opportunities that you think can can become big going
[28:57] that you think can can become big going forward? We've covered on the outskirts,
[28:59] forward? We've covered on the outskirts, you covered forests. Anything inside the
[29:01] you covered forests. Anything inside the city that you think is interesting?
[29:03] city that you think is interesting? Yeah, it park is one area which is close
[29:05] Yeah, it park is one area which is close to Sahesta Dhara area and that I think
[29:08] to Sahesta Dhara area and that I think is in the northeast side of Dakum and
[29:10] is in the northeast side of Dakum and that is also like closer to the city and
[29:13] that is also like closer to the city and that's where probably like I think
[29:15] that's where probably like I think there's Panache Rally which is a great
[29:18] there's Panache Rally which is a great uh I think gated calling that has come
[29:20] uh I think gated calling that has come up there. Uh I know some people who
[29:23] up there. Uh I know some people who bought houses there and I think now I
[29:25] bought houses there and I think now I think the price there is also around 1.2
[29:27] think the price there is also around 1.2 CR to 1.5 if not more. Uh but that's
[29:30] CR to 1.5 if not more. Uh but that's also like a very beautiful locality.
[29:32] also like a very beautiful locality. It's kind of like on a uh a gentle hill
[29:36] It's kind of like on a uh a gentle hill and then the way they're done is it is
[29:37] and then the way they're done is it is quite nice. So it's it's a short trip to
[29:40] quite nice. So it's it's a short trip to the airport especially if that is
[29:42] the airport especially if that is something that's important to you. Uh
[29:44] something that's important to you. Uh you know like let's say your parents
[29:46] you know like let's say your parents live in Bangalore. So you probably want
[29:47] live in Bangalore. So you probably want to fly quite often from there. So this
[29:49] to fly quite often from there. So this area becomes quite nice. What about
[29:51] area becomes quite nice. What about there is that Pacific Golf I have a
[29:54] there is that Pacific Golf I have a friend from Bangalore who's moving from
[29:55] friend from Bangalore who's moving from Bangalore to Dadun and they've rented in
[29:57] Bangalore to Dadun and they've rented in this place called Pacific Golf Estate I
[29:59] this place called Pacific Golf Estate I think. Mhm. M Pacific Gway Pacific
[30:02] think. Mhm. M Pacific Gway Pacific actually is another good developer in
[30:03] actually is another good developer in Dadun. Whatever projects they've done so
[30:05] Dadun. Whatever projects they've done so far in Dadun have been quite quite good.
[30:08] far in Dadun have been quite quite good. So I think Pacific Hills is one um uh
[30:11] So I think Pacific Hills is one um uh one development that they make and then
[30:13] one development that they make and then they have Pacific Mall which is also
[30:15] they have Pacific Mall which is also like one of the good malls in Dadon.
[30:17] like one of the good malls in Dadon. Then Pacific Golf Estate is one thing
[30:19] Then Pacific Golf Estate is one thing that they've made and it's got a golf
[30:20] that they've made and it's got a golf course around it. I mean personally I'm
[30:22] course around it. I mean personally I'm not a huge fan of that area. I mean of
[30:25] not a huge fan of that area. I mean of that building because I mean it looks
[30:27] that building because I mean it looks like a kind of a gora to me and I was
[30:30] like a kind of a gora to me and I was probably running away from it but it is
[30:32] probably running away from it but it is I mean it's quite good like if you
[30:34] I mean it's quite good like if you especially if you're coming from NCR
[30:36] especially if you're coming from NCR then that area looks quite good. It it
[30:38] then that area looks quite good. It it is a flat it is well built but it's just
[30:41] is a flat it is well built but it's just that it's it's a lot of flats in one
[30:43] that it's it's a lot of flats in one area. So like in the evening when you go
[30:45] area. So like in the evening when you go like there'll be a lot of uncles and
[30:46] like there'll be a lot of uncles and aunties like walking around and you know
[30:48] aunties like walking around and you know uh people probably doing haha like kind
[30:51] uh people probably doing haha like kind of party scene kosla goola every morning
[30:53] of party scene kosla goola every morning there
[30:55] there but I think it's very good value for
[30:57] but I think it's very good value for money. Yeah yeah they're quite nice
[30:59] money. Yeah yeah they're quite nice build. One way I've explored Dadun is
[31:01] build. One way I've explored Dadun is when I started my cloud kitchen uh I
[31:03] when I started my cloud kitchen uh I used to deliver the food myself. So I
[31:06] used to deliver the food myself. So I I've been to almost every area in Dadun.
[31:08] I've been to almost every area in Dadun. What about Masuri given Masuri is not
[31:10] What about Masuri given Masuri is not too far away from Dadun. Mhm. What's
[31:12] too far away from Dadun. Mhm. What's your point of view on uh buying around
[31:15] your point of view on uh buying around Masuri? Basically the same road that you
[31:17] Masuri? Basically the same road that you were saying earlier. Uh good thing you
[31:19] were saying earlier. Uh good thing you brought this up because actually I think
[31:21] brought this up because actually I think one important thing to look into while
[31:24] one important thing to look into while buying land is what development projects
[31:27] buying land is what development projects are coming up in Dadun and you probably
[31:29] are coming up in Dadun and you probably want to be closer to them. So the three
[31:33] want to be closer to them. So the three things importantly which are happening
[31:34] things importantly which are happening in Dadun is one is the airport becoming
[31:37] in Dadun is one is the airport becoming international. The second is there's a
[31:40] international. The second is there's a expressway that is being like it's
[31:42] expressway that is being like it's almost built. I think it's just waiting
[31:43] almost built. I think it's just waiting to get inaugurated by the PM and that is
[31:46] to get inaugurated by the PM and that is going to cut down the time from Dadun to
[31:49] going to cut down the time from Dadun to Masuri from 5 hours to 2 hours. This is
[31:51] Masuri from 5 hours to 2 hours. This is what they're saying. Uh to Delhi to
[31:55] what they're saying. Uh to Delhi to Delhi. Yes. Is that is that okay? Yeah.
[31:57] Delhi. Yes. Is that is that okay? Yeah. So yeah to Delhi and then anything which
[32:00] So yeah to Delhi and then anything which is closer to this area you know anything
[32:02] is closer to this area you know anything which is closer to this area will be a
[32:05] which is closer to this area will be a good opportunity buying wise you know.
[32:07] good opportunity buying wise you know. say anything which is closer to this
[32:09] say anything which is closer to this expressway u you know and that is
[32:11] expressway u you know and that is probably one of the reasons why there's
[32:13] probably one of the reasons why there's this there there's a spike in prices and
[32:15] this there there's a spike in prices and there are them the third project which
[32:17] there are them the third project which is there which is comp like um which
[32:19] is there which is comp like um which relates to Msuri is there's a ropeway
[32:21] relates to Msuri is there's a ropeway project that's coming up so what uh the
[32:24] project that's coming up so what uh the government here wants to do is they want
[32:25] government here wants to do is they want to cut down the traffic that goes to
[32:28] to cut down the traffic that goes to Masuri from Derdum and they want to
[32:30] Masuri from Derdum and they want to build a roof instead that project is
[32:32] build a roof instead that project is coming up in Purul uh closer to the area
[32:34] coming up in Purul uh closer to the area where I live in so people will park
[32:36] where I live in so people will park their cars there And then from there
[32:37] their cars there And then from there they can just take this highspeed rope
[32:40] they can just take this highspeed rope to Msuri. And so development generally
[32:43] to Msuri. And so development generally in this area has like is taking place
[32:46] in this area has like is taking place now. There is like I mean a lot of the
[32:48] now. There is like I mean a lot of the land is already bought but people are
[32:49] land is already bought but people are also reselling because this like there's
[32:52] also reselling because this like there's a lot of speculation and land prices are
[32:54] a lot of speculation and land prices are going up. So Masuri I think because of
[32:57] going up. So Masuri I think because of this rope project I don't know how long
[32:59] this rope project I don't know how long will it take but like work is going on
[33:01] will it take but like work is going on like I see like the the basic
[33:03] like I see like the the basic infrastructure has come come up u
[33:05] infrastructure has come come up u whenever it's done I think anything
[33:07] whenever it's done I think anything around Dadun side where the rogue
[33:09] around Dadun side where the rogue project is and wherever it's ending in
[33:11] project is and wherever it's ending in Masuri I think around those areas like
[33:14] Masuri I think around those areas like it'll be very interesting to buy I mean
[33:16] it'll be very interesting to buy I mean I would stay clear from it because I
[33:18] I would stay clear from it because I mean again what will happen in these
[33:20] mean again what will happen in these areas is a lot of people will move in
[33:21] areas is a lot of people will move in there a lot of hotels and stuff will
[33:23] there a lot of hotels and stuff will come So there'll be a lot of traffic,
[33:25] come So there'll be a lot of traffic, there'll be a lot of noise pollution is
[33:26] there'll be a lot of noise pollution is what probably what you're running away
[33:27] what probably what you're running away from. But what you can do is if there is
[33:30] from. But what you can do is if there is a if there's a forest in between or
[33:32] a if there's a forest in between or there's a river in between some buy
[33:33] there's a river in between some buy something closer to that but which is
[33:35] something closer to that but which is closer to this area. So appreciation of
[33:37] closer to this area. So appreciation of land will be there still and I think
[33:39] land will be there still and I think same way with Msuri when the project is
[33:41] same way with Msuri when the project is coming up. I mean Msuri is kind of
[33:42] coming up. I mean Msuri is kind of notoriously overpop populated. Uh
[33:44] notoriously overpop populated. Uh unfortunately uh developing authorities
[33:47] unfortunately uh developing authorities don't plan uh development in a good way.
[33:50] don't plan uh development in a good way. So what happens is everything just gets
[33:52] So what happens is everything just gets built everywhere you know wherever
[33:54] built everywhere you know wherever there's something when someone wants to
[33:55] there's something when someone wants to build they just build it instead of
[33:57] build they just build it instead of there being zones of okay this will be
[33:58] there being zones of okay this will be tourist area this will be residential
[34:00] tourist area this will be residential area this will be this area that area
[34:02] area this will be this area that area given the expressway is already close to
[34:04] given the expressway is already close to be built I would assume that the land
[34:06] be built I would assume that the land around that would have already been
[34:07] around that would have already been priced in like the appreciation would
[34:09] priced in like the appreciation would have been priced in by now because
[34:10] have been priced in by now because everybody knows this expressway is here
[34:12] everybody knows this expressway is here and and all of this boom that has
[34:14] and and all of this boom that has happened in Dhun real estate Mhm. I
[34:16] happened in Dhun real estate Mhm. I would assume that because of the
[34:17] would assume that because of the expressway opening is not going to go up
[34:19] expressway opening is not going to go up further at least not in the near future.
[34:20] further at least not in the near future. Maybe a longer term development. Yeah.
[34:23] Maybe a longer term development. Yeah. What they say is that uh expressway will
[34:26] What they say is that uh expressway will come up and then there is one small hike
[34:29] come up and then there is one small hike that will come up after the expressway
[34:31] that will come up after the expressway is open cuz what will happen is people
[34:32] is open cuz what will happen is people from Delhi NCR now it'll become easier
[34:35] from Delhi NCR now it'll become easier for them to travel to Dadun. So more
[34:38] for them to travel to Dadun. So more people will start traveling here and
[34:40] people will start traveling here and they will probably want to buy more lag.
[34:42] they will probably want to buy more lag. So once this opens up, I think there'll
[34:43] So once this opens up, I think there'll be one one more jump that will happen
[34:46] be one one more jump that will happen and that is probably where I think like
[34:47] and that is probably where I think like a window of opportunities there. So
[34:49] a window of opportunities there. So before this actually opens or like right
[34:51] before this actually opens or like right when it opens, there'll there'll be like
[34:53] when it opens, there'll there'll be like a little increase in price. So this is
[34:55] a little increase in price. So this is probably like a good time to look for
[34:57] probably like a good time to look for land here if there's something that that
[34:59] land here if there's something that that still comes in your range. I'm thinking
[35:00] still comes in your range. I'm thinking that you know there are the popular
[35:02] that you know there are the popular areas like the vasandria the dalin
[35:05] areas like the vasandria the dalin wallallas if somebody has the money
[35:07] wallallas if somebody has the money right if say you have 10 kores in in in
[35:11] right if say you have 10 kores in in in your like you sold a house in Delhi or
[35:13] your like you sold a house in Delhi or Bangalore and you have money u and you
[35:15] Bangalore and you have money u and you want to buy it would you recommend
[35:17] want to buy it would you recommend moving into these areas like you know
[35:18] moving into these areas like you know the absolute prime areas or do you think
[35:21] the absolute prime areas or do you think they are not worth it I think it's worth
[35:24] they are not worth it I think it's worth it I think people living there are quite
[35:25] it I think people living there are quite happy with it so all the people that I
[35:27] happy with it so all the people that I know that live there like I think the
[35:29] know that live there like I think the quality of life what they have in Delhi
[35:31] quality of life what they have in Delhi versus what they'll have in Dadun will
[35:33] versus what they'll have in Dadun will be like definitely a jump if quiet
[35:37] be like definitely a jump if quiet because I mean it's a state capital so
[35:38] because I mean it's a state capital so like all the reasonable things that you
[35:41] like all the reasonable things that you that one might need for a modern life
[35:43] that one might need for a modern life are all there and they're alone and then
[35:45] are all there and they're alone and then I think it's mostly what you're
[35:47] I think it's mostly what you're concerned about is like what kind of
[35:48] concerned about is like what kind of neighborhood it is you probably want
[35:50] neighborhood it is you probably want like nice people to talk to you know and
[35:52] like nice people to talk to you know and what these areas provide is either
[35:55] what these areas provide is either people who have been living in Daraban
[35:57] people who have been living in Daraban for a long time or is officers or army
[35:59] for a long time or is officers or army officers who've retired now and who
[36:01] officers who've retired now and who retired and now live in their adun. So
[36:04] retired and now live in their adun. So these are kind of the colonies and the
[36:06] these are kind of the colonies and the kind of people uh Vasantihar I think
[36:09] kind of people uh Vasantihar I think Rajpur is another area and then there's
[36:12] Rajpur is another area and then there's Dalin Wallala. So I think you probably
[36:14] Dalin Wallala. So I think you probably like in a around 10 CR you can get like
[36:17] like in a around 10 CR you can get like a bea of land which is huge which I feel
[36:19] a bea of land which is huge which I feel like uh you can probably buy old houses
[36:21] like uh you can probably buy old houses there which will probably cost you
[36:23] there which will probably cost you around yeah like I think 500 square
[36:25] around yeah like I think 500 square yards is probably what you need which is
[36:26] yards is probably what you need which is half a bea I think that's a decent chunk
[36:29] half a bea I think that's a decent chunk of land. You'll have like a nice garden
[36:30] of land. You'll have like a nice garden to yourself. Um and then how much would
[36:33] to yourself. Um and then how much would that cost? How much would a villa cost
[36:37] that cost? How much would a villa cost there? So I think Vasant Vihar and Dalan
[36:40] there? So I think Vasant Vihar and Dalan Wala are probably closer in price which
[36:42] Wala are probably closer in price which is around uh 80,000 to 70,000 per square
[36:46] is around uh 80,000 to 70,000 per square yard. So about a bea will cost around 7
[36:51] yard. So about a bea will cost around 7 to 8 cr 8 cr. But what you really want
[36:54] to 8 cr 8 cr. But what you really want is I mean ba is a huge piece of land
[36:56] is I mean ba is a huge piece of land like I think for for a regular person of
[37:00] like I think for for a regular person of like for a quite a wealthy person also I
[37:02] like for a quite a wealthy person also I think anything from 300 to 500 squar is
[37:04] think anything from 300 to 500 squar is quite big. So your land costing you
[37:07] quite big. So your land costing you around let's say 4 cr 3 to 4 cr and then
[37:09] around let's say 4 cr 3 to 4 cr and then your house probably what you buy
[37:11] your house probably what you buy whatever cost of that house is that will
[37:13] whatever cost of that house is that will probably another 2 cr or so. So around
[37:15] probably another 2 cr or so. So around in I think 5 to 7C cr is something you
[37:18] in I think 5 to 7C cr is something you can find something very easily there
[37:19] can find something very easily there which is again I mean it's quite
[37:20] which is again I mean it's quite expensive but these are areas which will
[37:22] expensive but these are areas which will always be expensive. It will never go
[37:24] always be expensive. It will never go down in price. I can yeah I think I can
[37:27] down in price. I can yeah I think I can actually if I'm if I were to compare say
[37:29] actually if I'm if I were to compare say a max estate 4,000 ft² villa for
[37:33] a max estate 4,000 ft² villa for whatever 4CR and a plot in Dalan Wallala
[37:38] whatever 4CR and a plot in Dalan Wallala with a with a villa maybe a oldish villa
[37:40] with a with a villa maybe a oldish villa not as fancy for say in a half a bea for
[37:43] not as fancy for say in a half a bea for say about 4CR I would prefer Dalan Wala
[37:46] say about 4CR I would prefer Dalan Wala just because of uh its location and just
[37:49] just because of uh its location and just like how nice their whole area is also
[37:52] like how nice their whole area is also Dalwal is a big area there are multiple
[37:54] Dalwal is a big area there are multiple roads inside Dalwala And there are
[37:55] roads inside Dalwala And there are multiple localities. So it depends on
[37:57] multiple localities. So it depends on that. But I'm just thinking what would
[37:58] that. But I'm just thinking what would you prefer max estate or like a villa in
[38:01] you prefer max estate or like a villa in Dalin if say you had 5CR. Oh max estates
[38:04] Dalin if say you had 5CR. Oh max estates suns I mean Rajpur is a very beautiful
[38:06] suns I mean Rajpur is a very beautiful area. Anything like the best restaurants
[38:09] area. Anything like the best restaurants are in Rajput. It's closer to Msuri.
[38:12] are in Rajput. It's closer to Msuri. It's a much quieter area. Dalanuala is
[38:14] It's a much quieter area. Dalanuala is in the heart of the city. It's much more
[38:16] in the heart of the city. It's much more populated. So you'll hear more noise. So
[38:18] populated. So you'll hear more noise. So I think these are the kind of priorities
[38:19] I think these are the kind of priorities that I have. If I have that kind of
[38:20] that I have. If I have that kind of money I would probably think like
[38:22] money I would probably think like Rajputur area. Um but Dalan Wallala
[38:25] Rajputur area. Um but Dalan Wallala again like I think yeah I don't know if
[38:28] again like I think yeah I don't know if there's any upside to Dalan Wala in that
[38:29] there's any upside to Dalan Wala in that way like but it's just that like I think
[38:32] way like but it's just that like I think mostly people who have land there
[38:33] mostly people who have land there already like they build houses there. I
[38:36] already like they build houses there. I don't think actually flats is another
[38:37] don't think actually flats is another thing. So a lot of flats have come up
[38:39] thing. So a lot of flats have come up there. So that's another opportunity
[38:40] there. So that's another opportunity that you might have. So nice flats come
[38:42] that you might have. So nice flats come up there. It's good look at a piece. So
[38:45] up there. It's good look at a piece. So these are builder floors like one one
[38:47] these are builder floors like one one building which has three four
[38:48] building which has three four apartments. No no no no. I mean they
[38:50] apartments. No no no no. I mean they have I don't I don't think they have
[38:51] have I don't I don't think they have those. I think the culture now is there
[38:54] those. I think the culture now is there instead of bungalows where people have
[38:55] instead of bungalows where people have sold their houses or sold their land and
[38:58] sold their houses or sold their land and then developers have built like um like
[39:00] then developers have built like um like 20 floors or 15 floors something like
[39:02] 20 floors or 15 floors something like that. Oh like flat flats. Oh so I don't
[39:06] that. Oh like flat flats. Oh so I don't know like in Gordana something like a
[39:07] know like in Gordana something like a Princeton estate you know. Oh but
[39:10] Princeton estate you know. Oh but instead of like five towers they'll
[39:11] instead of like five towers they'll probably just have like two towers you
[39:13] probably just have like two towers you know that's all. That does not sound
[39:15] know that's all. That does not sound very good to me because Dalan Wala I
[39:16] very good to me because Dalan Wala I don't know if it has that kind of space
[39:18] don't know if it has that kind of space to accommodate those number of families
[39:20] to accommodate those number of families in like just sounds a little odd to me.
[39:23] in like just sounds a little odd to me. Yeah, I I I have been there and some of
[39:25] Yeah, I I I have been there and some of them they they seem nice. It is a huge
[39:29] them they they seem nice. It is a huge eyesore for the people living there
[39:30] eyesore for the people living there because what Daran Wala used to be was
[39:32] because what Daran Wala used to be was these uh 500 square yard plots where
[39:35] these uh 500 square yard plots where they had the everyone had their
[39:36] they had the everyone had their individual bungalow and a backyard and a
[39:39] individual bungalow and a backyard and a and a front yard and everything and a
[39:40] and a front yard and everything and a garden and everything. So now those are
[39:42] garden and everything. So now those are unfortunately vanishing away and
[39:45] unfortunately vanishing away and builders are now building flats there.
[39:47] builders are now building flats there. So so yeah I think I would mostly think
[39:50] So so yeah I think I would mostly think in the out I take it back I I I take it
[39:53] in the out I take it back I I I take it back I'm going back to max estate I
[39:55] back I'm going back to max estate I don't want to stay in those and what

Summary

TL;DR — This video explores real estate investment opportunities in Dehradun, focusing on finding land outside the city center and the factors driving property value appreciation. It highlights the potential for growth due to infrastructure development like the new international airport and expressway, and discusses specific areas and considerations for buyers.

Key points

• Dehradun's real estate market has seen significant appreciation, especially post-pandemic, driven by its appeal as an escape from crowded metros and its improving connectivity.

• Key infrastructure projects like the international airport and a new expressway are poised to further boost property values and accessibility.

• Identifying suitable land involves understanding zoning (forest, residential, agricultural) through resources like the MDDA maps and engaging with local communities.

• Areas like Bishk, Purkul, and Kimari are discussed, with Bishk noted as having become expensive, while Kimari is suggested as a promising area for future investment.

• Navigating land acquisition can be complex, requiring persistence, local knowledge, and understanding regulations like agricultural land purchase restrictions for non-Uttarakhand residents.

• The MDDA plays a crucial role in building approvals, and its opaque processes can be a significant hurdle for property owners.

Takeaway — Strategic land investment in Dehradun requires thorough research, understanding local regulations, and considering future development to capitalize on the region's growing appeal.
