Dhanaulti: The Unspoiled Pine Paradise of Uttarakhand

Tucked away on the misty ridge of the Mussoorie-Chamba highway in Tehri Garhwal, Dhanaulti (2,286 m / 7,500 ft) is the serene, uncommercialized antidote to the bustling tourist crowds of nearby Mussoorie.

Surrounded by towering, ancient forests of Himalayan deodar (cedar), alpine oak, and scarlet rhododendrons, Dhanaulti is renowned for its crisp mountain air, panoramic vistas of the snow-capped Garhwal Himalayan peaks, and eco-friendly glamping culture. Whether you are walking along pine-scented forest trails in the twin Eco-Parks, catching the modern ropeway cable car up to the sacred Surkanda Devi Temple at 9,976 feet, or sipping hot ginger tea beside a crackling campfire under millions of stars, Dhanaulti offers a pure Himalayan sanctuary.

Year-Round Cool Climate

Even in peak summer (May – June), daytime temperatures in Dhanaulti rarely exceed 22°C, making it a refreshing, air-conditioned escape from the northern plains.

Luxury Alpine Glamping

Stay in weatherproof luxury Swiss tents equipped with attached tiled bathrooms, hot geysers, mountain view balconies, and evening barbecue buffets.
