Top 10 places To visit In Dhanaulti

One of the most beautiful tourist places of Uttarakhand, India, Dhanaulti’s natural beauty is amazing. Although I have been coming and going to Uttarakhand for many years, before this trip I had only heard the name of Dhanaulti. I am sharing some personal memories of this pleasant journey with you, hope you will definitely like this article.

 

The entire structure of Uttarakhand is so beautiful and mesmerising that the sight of dense hills here seems like a dream to the eyes. Dhanaulti is like a fairytale place with eternal peace and tranquillity. High snow covered mountains and dense forests all around as if nature is proud of its youth.

 

You may find these things to be the vision of a minstrel, but the truth is that many poets got a chance to imagine and think from the plains of Dhanaulti.

Dhanaulti roads

A thin road built on rocky high mountains, on one side of which there is a fear of mountains sliding and on the other side there is a dreadful ditch. If you can win over their fear then only you will be able to enjoy the unique natural beauty here.

 

Sometimes the side of the road becomes so difficult and narrow that you have to stop for a couple of minutes to move forward on the road. The risk of landslides is highest here during the rainy season.

 

The journey from Dehradun to Mussoorie to Dhanaulti has to be done with utmost care. Don’t know how many lives will be made by your one minor mistake, you can’t even guess. The craggy beauty of Dhanaulti is like paradise.

Best Time To Visit Dhanaulti –

Irrespective of the weather, visiting Dhanaulti has its own fun. It means to say that according to your dedication towards nature, you can roam here. In this case, I am of the opinion that summer and winter are the best seasons to visit the hilly areas. Snow-capped peaks are seen in winter, while in summer there is a chance to see nature more closely in short winters.

 

But if you are a die-hard nature lover then you must come here once in the rainy season braving the dangers. There is a different kind of beauty in the beauty of the forests here during the rainy season, which is not possible to explain in words. However, during the rainy season, the risk of all natural calamities like landslides on the mountains increases by many percent.
