Lying between Mussoorie and Chamba, Kanatal has dense pine forests, fresh apple orchards, and zero chaos. A dreamy alternative to busy hill stations.
Looking for a short trek? Nag Tibba is your monsoon fix. Just 3 hours from Dehradun, the trail leads to cloud-kissed views and alpine calm.
Ditch Mall Road and explore Landour. Quiet lanes, colonial cottages, and monsoon mist—this Mussoorie neighbor is peace wrapped in pine.
Only 15 km from Dehradun, Maldevta offers green meadows, a flowing river, and fresh mountain air. Great for a spontaneous rainy-day picnic.
