Dhanaulti
धनौल्टी
A pine-forested hill village about 25 km east of Mussoorie, with eco parks and winter snow. It is a classic half-day trip.
Dhanaulti sits at about 2,250 m on the Mussoorie–Chamba road, surrounded by dense deodar, oak and rhododendron forest. Two eco parks, Amber and Dhara, offer forest trails and small adventure activities. Snow often covers the area in winter, making it a popular spot for Delhi visitors who want to see snow. It can be combined with Surkanda Devi Temple and Kanatal in a single day trip; a hired car takes about 2 to 3 hours round trip. After snowfall, roads may close or require snow chains.
