About Chakrata
Nestled in the serene Jaunsar Bawar belt of Dehradun district, Uttarakhand, India lies the peaceful retreat of Chakrata. Unlike bustling destinations, like Mussoorie or Auli this hidden gem remains untouched by crowds of tourists, making it a beloved sanctuary for those seeking solace in nature. With the Shivalik Range of the Outer Himalayas standing guard and lush forests filled with conifers, oak and blooming rhododendrons, covering its landscape, Chakrata is like a beautiful poem waiting to be experienced.
But it's not just Chakrata’s beauty that captivates visitors; it is also the range of experiences it offers. Inviting waterfalls entice people to feel their misty spray, while nature trails promise adventures for hiking enthusiasts. Trekking and camping under the starry night sky create memories that last a lifetime.
As the seasons change, so does Chakrata’s canvas. In summer it adorns itself with a kaleidoscope of colours as flowers bloom everywhere, creating enchanting vistas. On the other hand, winter blankets Chakrata in a glistening coat of snow and turns it into a playground for winter sports enthusiasts.
