What makes Dhakuri special?

Lesser known due to its location, Dhakuri is a destination whose memories and beautiful views stay with the person that visits the campsite once. It is an unusually flat, high altitude meadow. Surrounded by forests and tall trees in all directions and the lush green grass at the campsite make this destination completely picturesque. 

This is not it, the snow capped mountains of the Nanda Devi ranges are just above your head. A short trek from here could let you enjoy a better view of the skyscraping himalayas, especially early in the morning. If you can travel further for an hour to the Chilta Top. This place offers an unmatched view of the Badrinath ranges going all the way to Dharma valley, in one frame.

Best time to visit

From the mid of April to the end of November, this place is filled with colourful tents of both Indian and International trekkers, unlike this year. As this place is the gateway to Pindari Glacier and Sundardunga, it is a famous campsite but only the visitors know that this place is a lot more than that.

Accommodation options

Being a common campsite, you can find a lot of accommodation options if you do not want to stay in the tents. There are a number of lodges run by the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nagar Nigam and forest department.
