The Song is a river in Dehradun that drains the eastern part of the valley. It originates in the southern slopes of the Himalayan range running from Dhanolti toward Narendranagar. As is common in hilly areas, there are several streams running south from the mountains that merge into one river that emerges out of the hills a little after Shahastradhara.

Shahastradhara [link]

It is a popular scenic spot for the locals, based on the banks of a tributary of the Song, the Kali Gad. It was more famous for its healing sulphur springs but is now more of a picnic spot with families crowding the waters in the summer.

The Kali Gad merges into the main Song river east of the Kalinga hill. After this confluence, the Song is a broad river valley, larger than its western counterpart - The Asan river. The river now flows through the valley in a south-eastern direction passing through the regions of Harrawala and Doiwala. It is a perenial river, however the water surges during the monsoon as can be seen from the bridge at Doiwala. The river proceeds southward till it merges with the Sooswa river. The Sooswa originates from the southern Shiwalik range separating the Doon valley from Saharanpur and Haridwar districts, collecting water from several small streams, including the once perenial Rispana. It flows westwards to Doiwala and can be seen through thick forest from the train running from Haridwar to Dehradun. The river then flows through the forest of Chilla before its confluence with the mighty Ganga river at Raiwala.
