Chakrata

Chakrata is a remote, offbeat hill station in Dehradun district, historically a restricted cantonment area that has only recently opened up more to tourism. Its relatively untouched forests, waterfalls, and low crowd density make it appealing to travelers looking to get away from more commercial hill stations.

Why It Is Famous

Chakrata is known for Tiger Falls (one of the highest waterfalls in Uttarakhand), Deoban forest with its cedar trees and Himalayan views, and Kalsi's Ashoka rock edict, an important historical site.
