With a spectacular view of the snow-covered hills and the green forests, Kanatal is a mesmerizing experience of Rural life of Uttarakhand.
Known for its mesmerizing beauty, beautiful sights, verdant forests, invigorating winds and tranquil weather, Kanatal presents a perfect winter getaway.

We will also be visiting following places:
Massoorie - 37 km from Kanatal and is a popular tourist destination that hardly needs an introduction. Mussoorie also called the Queen of the Hills is a favorite among travellers. You can take a stroll on the Mall Road or the Camel’s back road. The place is filled with game centres, restaurants, and local shops.
Chamba - About 16 km from Kanatal is the hamlet of Chamba, Uttarakhand. Chamba is untouched and untamed by the vices of urbanization and commercialization. About 1600 meters above the sea level, this place is more quite than Mussoorie and offers an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate.
Dhanaulti - offers a scenic escape. Treks, pony rides along
fruit orchards and sparkling streams keep visitors engaged and one with nature.
