Thank you so much
I had recently went to Uttarakhand, but wasnt aware of most of the places that you have mentioned. Definitely exploring them all super soon
Uttarakhand has so many lovely places to see. It’s high on my bucket list for next year
Definitely instragammable! One of my friends visited Chakrata last year and posted amazing pictures and since then I had been thinking of the place and now the desire to visit has rekindled.
Chakrata, the cantonment town in the district of Dehradun. Last year we went to Chakrata. The blue and green mountains, the water falling on the face while one hangs in the air, the beautiful tents – we want to do it all over again! Missing those travel days. You captured some breathe taking pictures.
I have followed your insta posts on Chakrata and I can only imagine and dream as to how beautiful the place is. I have already added that to my list and I will surely plan for it the next time I am in India.
Wow, Chakrata is definitely on my list. Deoban already has my heart. It’s not just instragammable but a travel worthy place too!
I visited Uttrakhand so many times but never got a chance to explore Chakrata. From your post I feel its beauty and really want to visit this place some day soon.
I haven’t been to Chakrata, your Instagram photos pushed me to plan a visit sometime. I loved the click of yours sitting on the rustic seat in Deoban. It was beautiful.
Those pictures are absolutely mesmerising… I really wish to start travelling as soon as the lockdown is lifted.
Adding it in my next escapade to uttarakhand for sure!!!
Deoban is truly mesmerising. I would love to sit there and look at the scenery in front of me. I have heard a lot about Chakrata and its beauty. Your pictures show how beautiful and breathtaking the place is. Would love to visit there whenever things get better!
Pretty nice.
Me being from dehradun still have not visited this area.
🙂
In fact it is much better during snow times,my friends used to go on bikes and show photos.
Snow clad mountains looked pretty amazing in those pictures.
Nice depiction of the place
Keep Up
Uttarakhand is definitely on my list. I have been planning as one of friend lives there. The spots are really selected ones. However if its the mountains I would find evey place instaworthy😊
My father was posted in Chakrata for a year but sadly I couldn’t go and visit him then. Since then, this offbeat place has been on my mind and your post makes me wanna go ASAP all the more!
