Dehradun's weather has turned yet again, covering the landscape into a snowy embrace! It has been raining in the city, making the streets glisten under the streetlights and evenings becoming much colder. Which makes it the perfect time for you to visit Kanatal!
Some 73 kms (and 2.5-3 hours) away from Dehradun, this winter dreamland is nestled between the folds of the Garhwal Himalayas. Enveloped in fresh snow now, this quaint hill station can make for your perfect getaway into nature's lap this weekend.
Winding roads, towering deodars and crisp air only form the beginning of this journey. As the altitude goes higher, you're gonna leave the mundaneness of the city behind and breathe into fresh pine and adventure!
Let's convince you further, shall we?
Do you love winter treks? Kodai Jungle is your answer. Sucker for nature? The offbeat hill station is surrounded by apple orchards, among lush greenery! Are you a birder? The paradise is replete with flora, fauna and majestic wildlife. Are you an adrenaline junkie? Well, from zip-lining to skywalking, Kanatal offers it all!
Plus, the absence of the overwhelming tourist rush is an added cherry on the top (of the hill)!
