Kanatal
Kanatal is a serene Himalayan hill station in Uttarakhand’s Tehri Garhwal district, perched at 2,590 meters (8,500 feet). Nestled between Mussoorie (38 km) and Chamba (12 km), this offbeat destination offers panoramic views of snow-capped peaks like Bandarpoonch and Gangotri ranges, dense deodar and rhododendron forests, and an escape from crowded tourist spots.
Unlike commercial hill stations, Kanatal remains unspoiled and tranquil, making it perfect for:
✔ Couples & honeymooners – Private cottages with mountain views
✔ Adventure seekers – Trekking, camping, and off-roading
✔ Nature lovers – Orchards, waterfalls, and stargazing
The name Kanatal means "Lake of Eyes" in local dialect, though no lake exists today—legend says it dried up centuries ago.
