- Dhanaulti is a laid back town with a few sightseeing and adventure sports options. You must, at all times avoid the place in the peak of monsoons and winters. Carry good heavy mountain shoes as treks and long walks form a big part of the trip. Do carry food and plastic bags for proper disposal, since littering is strictly prohibited.
- Carry your camera, as Dhanaulti is one of the most picturesque places in Uttarakhand.

Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand is one of the most picturesque places with a great view of the cascading mountains and an abundance of evergreen natural beauty. We just went there in the first week of April this year and the weather was absolutely divine. It was the perfect destination for me and my friends for a laid back vacation with just a few sightseeing spots. We visited the Eco Park because of all it's hype but it was just okay. It's just a place with loads of different plant species. If you're a science geek or interested in small treks and scenic photography, this place might just be your thing! We were told to take our sports shoes for the treks and long walks and we were glad we did!
