Chakrata is a town located at a distance of around 98 km from Dehradun District in the state of Uttarakhand. The town, enclosed between Kinnaur in the west and Mussoorie in the east, is known for its beautiful and pollution free atmosphere. Located at an altitude of 2,118 metres above sea level, Chakrata was a cantonment town during British rule.
The town was earlier known as Jaunsar Bawar, a small hamlet of Jaunsari tribe. Jaunsar Bawar included two regions, Jaunsar, the lower half, while the snow-clad upper region was called Bawar. This popular tourist attraction was a summer retreat for officials of the English East India Company. A summer retreat of colonial times features a military cantonment; hence, access is restricted for civilians.
With green valleys and dense forests of conifers, rhododendrons and oaks, the destination is an ideal retreat from city life. Beautiful landscapes attract nature lovers, trekkers, bird watchers and wild life enthusiasts for exploring the small hill resort.
Kharamba Peak, with an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level, provides opportunities for climbing and skiing. Along with adventurous activities, caves and ancient temples are added attractions.
Places such as Ram Tal Garden and Kanasar are situated in close proximity providing beautiful views of the surroundings. The chief attraction around Chakrata is a waterfall named Tiger Fall and a leafy hamlet of Deoban that provides views of the Great Wall of China.
Chakrata can be reached by flights, trains and buses. Tourists can board flights to Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun, which is the nearest domestic airport. Visitors from international destinations can arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.

It is a major railway junction in the northern part of India and is connected with cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Varanasi, Lucknow and Mussoorie. Both state owned and private operators render bus services to Chakrata.
