Beating the Heat at Dhanaulti



We were done enjoying the beautiful Chopta- Chandrashila trek and now it was time to move on, BUT WHERE? SHOULD WE MOVE TOWARDS AULI OR TOWARDS RISHIKESH? This was the toughest question in front of us.

Chopta

As per our original plan, we were to move to Auli but due to time limitation, there was a fair chance that we’ll not be able to make it to Delhi on time to catch our train to home. Since girls were also with us, we didn’t have any option of missing our train as reservations for next few days weren’t available. So, after consulting few locals, we decided to move towards Rishikesh to Dhanaulti and Mussoorie.

This Was Our Modified Route -

CHOPTA – TEHRI – CHAMBA – DHANAULTI – MUSSORIE – DEHRADUN –DELHI

So, after finally deciding which route to take, we started from Chopta at around 8 AM and reached Dhanaulti via Tehri and Chamba at around8 in the night. We took a short halt at Tehri to view Tehri Lake and Tehri dam,other than this, the journey till Dhanaulti was a continuous one.

We reached Dhanaulti only to find out that, due to peak tourist season, majority of the hotels were full and the ones those have vacant rooms were very costly. But, since, there wasn’t any other option, we bargaineda little bit and rented two rooms for 6 people and called it a night.

Next morning, before leaving for Mussoorie, we enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and Eco-parks of Dhanaulti.

Needless to say, Dhanaulti is not a very much developed hill station as there is nothing much to see besides two Eco-parks but if you are looking to spend time amidst hills without any distraction, just to forget your city life and daily chores for a while, to spend time doing nothing, then you must stop at Dhanaulti. With Calm and clear skies, perfect weather, beautiful hills all around, Dhanaulti might be a perfect getaway for you.

Even during the peak season with all hotels full, Dhanaulti was very calm, serene. It wasn’t crowded at all, at least not on the streets,like other major hill stations during peak (summer) season.
