Dhanaulti Reviews

Dhanaulti Experience: Still unexplored and beautiful place in the lap of Himalayas. Healthy and fresh air which purifies your body and soul. It would be best if places like these do not become commercialized and remain the way they are. The place does not have many doctors and locals say they don't need any as people there seldom have any health related issues. Wonderful view of snow covered Himalayan range with aerial distance of not more than 50 km . Simply Superb!!!

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Nature is the best hing to see, however eco park is a nice place to visit and Tehri Dam which is 40 km from Dhanaulti. Not much to expect for shopping as the market consists of not more than 20 odd shops. You can get some rhododendron juice which grows naturally and considered good for gastric problems.

Activities & things to do: I did not go there looking for any activity though people do get there for trekking.

Dhanaulti Experience: This was August 2011 when we planned to go to Dhanaulti and Kanataal in our own car and it was pre decided to go with out crossing the Mussoorie. The road and Route from Mussorie to Dhanaulti was extremely awesome and Dhanaulti was much colder than Mussorie which is about 35 KM from there.You can enjoy the nature and Eco park. There are not so much tourist spot except Two temples (One on some height and another on the way, two eco parks as picnic spot parks, site scenes, Blue point (By using horse riding) and close to nature and peace full. Market is not there to shop except some local restaurant where you may get snacks like pakoday, maggi, tea etc. (which is actually an symbol of hill station). While returning from Dhanaulti staying for one day/ night at Kanataal which is 12 KM away from there. It is an advisable option by staying in Tent /Camps of Camp Carnival to have some change. Kanataal does not have any picnic spot / tourist spot except some site scenes of natures/ hills etc. Any way it is an good place for those who are interested to have peace, close to nature and interested to walk,walk and walk in weekend.
