Chakrata, a serene hill station in Uttarakhand is just 320 km from India’s national capital Delhi. As you whisk away from the crowded streets of Delhi and enter the foothills of the Himalayas, you’ll be immersed in what you call illydic charm and calming atmosphere. Here’s everything you need to know on how to reach Chakrata from Delhi, where to stay, what to eat, stunning attractions, trekking trails and hidden gems that will leave you spellbound.
Here are the top things you can do in Chakrata:
As you cross the big sign that reads Chakrata, it’s 15 Km till you finally get to witness the highest waterfalls in Uttarakhand. You’ll be captivated to see the cascade of water as it plunges from a great height, creating a sight to behold. Try to reach there in the morning by 6 or a maximum of 7 am to avoid the crowd making reels, dancing, or washing their clothes. Early in the morning, you can have the entire waterfall to yourself and your gang.
Just a 10-minute trek away from the waterfall, you’ll find a pristine river with majestic high rocks, creating a perfect spot to sit with your feet dipped in water, enjoying the calming views.
As the sun shows the first sign of its deep dive, head to a small plateau near Chakrata called Chirmiri. It’s a breathtaking sunset point and a perfect place to end your first day. As the sun sets over the horizon, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colours, casting a magical glow over the landscape. Sit back, relax and soak in nature’s beauty with a hot cup of chai.
