OVERVIEW

Chaukori Travel Guide

Let’s forget our nine to five blues by travelling away from the big cities to the offbeat destination in the mountains. Uttrakhand is a paradise with so many small villages which will give you the taste of their traditions and cultures. The people are so kind and heartwarming that you would love never to leave the peaceful place.

Uttarakhand is a kaleidoscope of colourful cultures and traditions, breathtaking views and umpteen adventurous activities. Crossing borders from village to village will make you experience the unique scenic view of the Himalayas and the sweet, hospitable people of the villages.

One such untampered destination in Uttrakhand is Chaukori hill station which offers you to experience dusk and dawn in the same village. It is located at the moderate elevation of 2,010 m above sea level, where you can visit any time of the year as it offers lovely weather, be it winters or summers. Escape from the scorching heat of the cities and immerse yourself in the calm and tranquillity. On the other hand, winters are the best time if you want to experience the hug of snow-laden peaks. The village provides you with the most pleasing environments, no pollution, only fresh air.
The village is in the heart of the Himalayas, giving striking views of the Nanda Devi, Panchachuli peaks, and Nanda Kot. The hill station offers you the unexceptional experience of the wild forest rich in Rhododendron trees, oak, pine, cornfields and orchards.
