Dhanaulti

Fast emerging as a gem among the major travel destinations in Uttarakhand, Dhanaulti offers a peaceful, relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. Dhanaulti is located at an altitude of 2,250 m, and is far away from the hustle-bustle, busy market places and pollution. Set amidst thick virgin forests of deodars, oaks and rhododendrons, Dhanaulti is the base point for numerous treks into the Himalayas, which includes trails to the Surkanda Devi Temple, Chandrabadni and Kunjapuri. There are several adventure resorts here offering activities like rappelling and zip- lining. Dhanaulti has several popular skating arenas as well. In winter, the small town is blanketed in snow and makes for a perfect holiday.
