Chakrata - Hidden Paradise

Brief
A week of complete solace, away from everything and anything that has consumed us, caving, trekking, bird watching, rappelling and camping in a village lesser known. A week to experience a different culture and lifestyle and not to be consumed, we are glad to offer you an opportunity to experience a place you will fall in love with. Chakrata, 93 kms from Dehruaun in the Uttarakhand state of India provides you with this rare chance. A tour specially crafted for the classes who love to explore lesser known destinations away from places overloaded with travelers and blaring horns. Surely an experience good enough to snap us out of our humdrum existence.
Accommodation
Hotel Himalayan Paradise is a very cozy and comfortable hotel with basic amenities, the rooms are well furnished, the service and food is very homely and the view is great. The hotel provides 24 hours hot and cold running water and they have 09 well furnished rooms and one 12 bedded dormitory. The rooms have heaters and very warm bedding is provided. The hotel would not be having luxuries like Satellite TV connections in all the rooms etc.
We recommend a minimum 03 nights stay at Chakrata, this will give you enough time to relax and also experience the below mentioned activities. All the destinations mentioned in the activities below are at a distance of 15 to 20 Km from the hotel, so there would not be excess traveling once in Chakrata.

On the subsequent days you have the option of covering following destinations. We are not planning to have a fixed itinerary or every day scheduling. All the activities shall be decided one day prior keeping in mind the climate and feasibility :-
Kanasar – A great camping site surrounded by deodar forest. If you choose we could arrange a camp here in the night and will have campfire and local folk dance. For camping we will need a guaranteed minimum number, for details please contact us for customization
Tiger Falls – A nice trek which goes almost all the way along the stream in a valley which leads us to Tiger Fall.
Budher Cave – The most unique experience of the tour is ‘caving’. In India, unlike trekking, caving is hardly an explored area. We will crawl in this cave to see how it is inside the womb of Mother Earth. On a clear day one should get a very good view of snow capped peaks from here.
Nearby villages – Tidy and neatly organized villages are a treat to watch. Clean and compact houses built out of deodar wood.
Apart from this, moderately challenging activities like rock climbing and rappelling could also be included. Interested people can participate in optional bird watching excursions in the early mornings. Foodies will have an opportunity to taste local cuisine for the breakfast.
Please note.
