Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas, Chakrata is a cantonment town in Uttarakhand's Dehradun district. Situated at approximately 2,118 metres, this charming town is about 100 km from the state capital and offers lovely views of snow-capped peaks, lush green valleys and dense deodar forests. Unlike the more commercialised hill stations, Chakrata remains relatively untouched, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and peace seekers.
