Stunning hills main maine stay kiya h abhi 29 September 2023 main bhai ab tak sabse best property lagi mujhe.
Behtareen location.amaginh views. Maja aa gaya yahan to .hamne tent lagvaya tha yahan night stay k liye .
Are glad ki property itni pasand ayi. Thank you for letting us know!! 😀
Your smile is very cute
Been there 6 yrs back in August there were barely any tourists and loved the climate and nature .
Wow, that's some time back. We went in December 2021 and it actually didn't have as many tourists even then. Glad to see it is still a cozy little getaway! 😀
@@XploreTheEarth yes planning to go there again next month with family but i doubt there are not many things there where kids can have fun .
बढ़िया वीडियो मैंने भी अपनी जिंदगी के 16 साल बिताए हैं
Thank you so much!
Bhot khuubsurat jagah hai 💛
Thanks for sharing good content. How is the road condition on Dehradun -Vikasnagar- Chakrata route
Glad you liked the video! 😀
The roads on the Dehradun-Chakrata road were absolutely fine when we late last year. Hope this helps.
If you want too see more beauty of chakrta so go to small villages of chakrta
Agreed! So much beauty all around! Unfortunately we only came for 2 days!
But definitely a lot more to Xplore! 💛
Great information ℹ️ can we plan in August 1st week with bikes?😅
Hey, you can absolutely do that. However, do note that there can be a decent bit of rainfall and that can be risky, especially for a bike. If you do not mind that, then by all means! 🙌
Please suggest a middle hotel of Chakrata that we could easily explore all Chakrata points...
I have just now visited Chakrata and believe me this is the best, short and crisp itinerary for Chakrata.
Just one more thing, for waterfall there are two ways. One that involves trek and opens at 8.00 am and the other one is approx 500 mts ahead. You can directly take the car to the waterfall. The best part is waking up early for the waterfall and voila you'll have a personal waterfall. We went there around 6.00 and it was beautiful.
What will be approximate cost If we book a car for whole day from chakrata ?
Hi dost hum apse Geoge everest pr mile thi jo apki cycle utha kr lekr gya tha everest pr
Hello! 😅
I think kuch confusion ho gaya hai.
Humm log Mussoorie/George Everest abhi takk to visit nahi kiye hai!

@@XploreTheEarth when can you tell the date plz
Sorry to say but full information dijiye chakrata k liye taxi 1 baje or 3 baje opposite kwality hardware se chalti hai or aap local k liye humse scooty rent pe le saktey hai or reasonable price pe homestay bhi🙏
Aapka number de dijiye yahan pr so jo tourists scooty ya homestay ka enquiry krna chahte hai wo aapse call pr baat kar sakte hai! 👍🏽
Humm november main aaye the, aur jitni information collect skte the utni compile krke yahan par di hai dusro ki madad krne ke liye.
Humari information 100% correct ho aisa nahi hai, kuch cheeze chhut sakti hai humse bhi.
Ye humara best effort tha logo ko help krne ka bas! Thank you for commenting!
Locals ke support ke bina tourism adhura hai.
So pls aapka number share krna dusro ki madad ke liye! 🙏🏽
Could you tell if we can camp our own tents at Moila Top?
Hi Awadh,
Technically it’s not allowed to freely camp anywhere on forest lands without permission, and Moila top is inside protected forest lands.
So legally no.
However there is no patrolling, or rangers posted and it’s relatively safe.
So you can take your chances and try and camp there if you find the environment safe to.
Things to keep in mind though -
- There are many tourists visiting this place in peak seasons. So don’t disturb the public space by camping
- There are monkeys at the top
- If you light a campfire, please make sure to do it safely and do not leave it unattended.
Make sure to properly extinguish it and cover it with soil.
The forests can be prone to fires so do it with utmost caution and responsibility towards the environment.
Be safe!
Also back up option- if u dont want to camp at the top, we recommend camping near the Forest Rest House about 2km before the top.
U can camp outside the huts
It’s much safer and a beautiful spot to camp!
Have a great trip!
Make sure to subscribe and share the love 💛
Where is this stay & waterfall, which you showed in the starting of the video. Plz reply

And Waterfall is the Tiger falls in Chakrata.
Is jacket neede in june in chakrata ? Plz reply as I'm planning to visit chakrata in coming weekend
Hi, humne June mein Chakrata visit nahi kara isliye pakka pata ki chahiye ya nahi. Par mere hisaab se 1 jacket to definitely rakhna kyunki raat ko thand ho jayegi.
Hi im planning to have a 1 day camp in chakrata after trek
So which one should i prefer
Deoban forest and moila top can be considered?
Go for Moila Top
Iss samay Chakrata ka weather kaisa hai... Can we visit this weekend???
Hi! Abhi exact update to nahi hai humare paas! But usually Baarish rehti hai Chakrata main iss time par. Aap visit to kar sakte hai but baarish ke liye ready hoke jaiye. Umbrellas vagera saath rakhiye to apko kamm dikkat aaye!
Kya yaha tiger or cheetah bhi ho skte hai ??
Kamm chances hai. Hume zyada information nahi hai iske baare main. Hume kuch nahi dikha aur naa hi kisi local ne aisa bataya tha kuch
Bhai yaha internet speed Kaisi hai agar hum aaye kuch wahi se kaam kare to ??
When we went there, we didn't get a chance to use the internet as much. You can try and confirm with the property owner before hand, if the wifi is good enough for a workation/staycation.
Havw you visited these places on your own? The clips you have shared
Yeass!
We have personally visited Chakrata and shot all things. A few places like Vyas Shikhar were not accessible on our visit so we have used Google Maps & Wikimedia photos with proper credits/sources provided where applicable!
I am going on 9th June friday for the weekend. I have few queries in mind-
1. Is parking available in sadar bazar since I am going with my own car, Skoda Kushaq SUV
2. Little sceptical about the road patch between lokhandi snow point and budher rest house. Is the road wide enought for two cars pass through ????
3. Tiger falls tak jaane ke liye bhi trek karna padta hai kya ????
Thanks in advance
Hi
1. Yes parking is available near Sadar Bazar, not inside the Bazar. Walking distance can fit SUVs not a problem.
2. Road from Lokhandi Snow point was little sketchy when we went. We went post monsoons in November, good chance that it may be in better condition now in Summers.
Not wide enough for 2 cars to pass at all spots. There is a chai and food vendor at the entrance and also 1-2 properties there.
Get down and ask the locals about the status once before venturing in.
They will give the best update and advice.
We did the same and it was helpful.
3. Yes Tiger falls parking se niche utarna padta hai for about 1-1.5 km on a paved block pathway.
Very beautiful and very easy walk. Won’t even call a trek. Just a pleasant stroll with good views and greenery all around. Must do. Will recommend for all ages and fitness levels. No problems unless very old and have knee problems (cause there are a lot of stairs)
Hope this help and you have a good trip!
Do share updates or changes to our information so we can update for others too! 💛
@@XploreTheEarth thanks. Will do
Tiger fall ke liye ek 5 km ka jungle wala trek bhi hai Chakrata se. Kya aapne wo trek kiya hai?
How about renting scooty to travel to different spots in chakrata
On our visit in Nov 2021, we didn’t spot any vendors offering bike rentals and neither did we find any online vendors.
However some locals since have probably started offering scooters for rent in Chakrata, however we don’t have their contact info.
You can ask the local property owners if you have booked a hotel.
They may be able to help you best.
From dehradun to Chakrata, can I opt for renting scooty?
@@shotperception-rahuljain9598 bro i made the trip, and it was an awesome experience, do book ur scooty with easy rental scooter in dehradun they were awesome and had good scooties.
Kitne din kaafi h chakrata k liye?
2-3 din kaafi hai for Chakrata. Atleast jitna humne cover kara utna visit karne ke liye.
What about a bike trip in january?
Yes, it should be fun. However, be vary of snow. If the weather has snowfall or you know that it has snowed recently then bike may not be the best option. 😅
Im from Chakrata
Stuff milta hai kya waha
@@Gamble347 pata nhi bro sry 😢
Scooty rent pr milti h kya chakrata m?
Unfortnuately no, no scooter rents in Chakrata.
Only tourist taxis available.
You can rent from Dehradun (90 Kms away)
Hope this helps, stay safe on scooters!
7 march ko yha barf miljayegi kya??
Hey, not sure about the live update. Your best bet is checking with locals. Maybe contact a hotel/homestay there.
Sadar bazar ke hotels kaise book karen
Number diye hai jo screen pr unko call krke ya phir aap booking.com ya makemytrip jaise websites pr unka details dhundh kr book kr skte hai
Can we take bike to Chakrata?
Yes you can!
Be safe and wear helmets. Roads are hilly so be responsible 😄
Bhai dehradun se scooty rent pe lekar ja sakte hain kya Chakrata?
Yes, jaa sakte hai. Par dhyan rakhiyega apna. Pahad main scooter chalana thoda risky hota hai.
Helmets zarur pehen ke rakhna, front and back!
Okay thank you brother
Dehradun se Chakrata bus se pahunch jaye to uske baad vaha ke picnic point par jana ka sadhan kya hoga.
Chakrata se hi taxi hire kar sakte h kya.vahi night bhi stay krana h
Can i visit from bike?
Yes, you can! Please be careful and wear helmets for both front and back riders.
Stay safe and enjoy!
Do let me know how to avail rented bikes from Dehradun to Chakrata!
You will have to check with the bike rentals in Dehradun. We do not have any recommendation to that extent. 😅
@@XploreTheEarth Thank you.
Tiger fall se aage hai mera goun
Kafi sundar jagah hai. 😍
Do you have phone numbers of some self-drive car rentals in uttrakhand?
Unfortunately we don’t have any!
Best case of getting a self drive is in Dehradun or Delhi!
Don’t think other towns/cities will have them!
wild animals ki koi tension tho ni haina ?
not that we are aware of.
It was safe in the day time.
Locals know the best. Be safe and avoid any risks.
I am sitting in chatrata, n believe me there is nothing literally nothing, I’m someone who love to explore new destinations but chakrata has nothing to offer, barren mountain water scarecity.
Sahi bta bhai?

Why your subscribers and views are not increasing ? 😔 You people are doing hard work but why you are not getting the good results. I am so upset.
UA-cam is not an easy game today with all the competition and creators out there, it’s tough to get the attention of the audience!
Slowly but steadily we’re making mark! Only a matter of time before we grow! 😁
Our numbers are going up 📈 on UA-cam month after month so that’s a good sign. All we’re now waiting for is that exponential increase in our numbers ✊💯
But thanks to all your support and love you’ve showed us so far!
It has made us what we are today!
Thank you for being a part of our journey 💛
Nothing special in this place.Just a media hype it is. Tourist agents want to make it a new destination. Otherwise all the same . The same teak wood trees, same curvey roads. You will find yourself alone in the trip to Chakrata. It's better to stay in mussoorie and enjoy the same climate and topography. Chakrata does not have any good restaurant to eat. Food quality available is poor. Ill managed tourist place.
Chakrata is simply average. Waste of time.🥴😔
Hahahaha
To each his own!
For someone like us, living in the city, very far away from the mountains, the calm, serene, secluded atmosphere may be something what they are craving!
We genuinely enjoyed the two days. We spent here surrounded by lush greenery, very few tourists and the empty landscapes all for ourselves.
We found the entire experience really peaceful and the locals that we interacted with were really warm, welcoming and they treated us with utmost respect and didn’t tried to loot us as tourists or didn’t make us try to treat us as tourists or as outsiders but as guests and we really like that about our experience that we had.
I am sure everyone has a different kind of experience but because of all this we genuinely like Chakrata and would recommend that you can consider it for your next holiday if you like to visit offbeat places which are not too much on the tourist map.
We ate food at our property, Stunning hills, which was really delicious home-cooked
Meals and it was actually one of the best chicken curries I ever had anywhere and we also tried momos and some other snacks at Chandanas Momos in Sadar Bazaar, which was also really good, no compromises.
I understand that you might have had a different experience, but for someone like me who was looking for the exact type of vibe and place where I can enjoy nature more by myself, I really had a good time here. 💛
@@XploreTheEarth It's a so interesting to know about how people were shifted from DAM site to new tehri.
Though lot of money was given to these people they lost their culutre. Many people did not get money though some got extra money. It was that whoever was powerful and had links got good deal otherwise others did not get good money. Most important thing is how because of dam life around this area is affected. I am sharing this on the basis of people who wtinessed this happening there. Another important thing is that Uttarakhand govt has failed to develop this as tourist spot. Charges are very high for boating and stay. Even local shopkeepers are charging very high at boating area. 80 ruppes for nimbu paani. To know about history of dam and other aspects of dam its worth visit but just for fun and enjoyment its waste😊
