Moila Top

Reviewed By tanu1204 - Mumbai, India

We visited Moila top this June. We booked a cab from Dehradun.The destination is around 120 km from Dehradun . We started at 7 AM with family including parents , Children and couple. There was secenic beauty almost everywhere on the way. We reached Chakrata at around 10 am . There were a few restaurants. We had our breakfast, took some pictures and departed. We really enjoyed the journey normally it is difficult to travel in hill areas but it was bearable because of greenery and scenic beauty everyone enjoyed a lot We reached Himalyan view resort at noon. It is in Lokhandi. We took some rest and then started for Moila top. This place was around 5 km from resort. 2.5 km from car and 2-3 Km trekking . Trekking was also great we also had elder citizens with us which made it was slightly difficult for us.It you have eldery people with you carry a cane it will help them to walk ... There are trees and plants everywere along the way. The top was cold, however the journey was not tiring. The top was beautiful and I was speechless after seeing it. The view from the top is a must see for every nature lover. We took photograph enjoyed cool air and beauty of this place ... It took 45 mins to come down ..then we went to resort ...the resort was very small there were hardly 6 rooms but was comfortable stay ..The owner of the resort was very good and helping ..he arranged tea , pakoda and delicious dinner for us (both veg and non veg). Night was so cool ..thank god we kept woolen cloths with us... Morning we had breakfast and visited tiger fall ..nice waterfall.....we enjoyed water there and then return to Dehradun The overall experience was awesome ...We will definetly visit this place again..

Happy Valley

Reviewed By romeersen - Mumbai, India

Dalai Hills or Happy Valley as we know it, is an extension mountain peak of the Tibetian Buddhist Temple of Mussorrie. Till date there is a wonderful civilisation settled of Tibetians around here. One has to climb for 10 mins wherein he would get to see the total view of the beautiful city from the top. While climbing up you would come across the Buddha Statue which is where you wanna reach to meditate for a while. But when you cross that and move ahead towards the mountain ranges you would see the real beauty and the soul would get its peace automatically. The view from the top is really beautiful and you feel lucky to be able to climb up till here and see this serene earth created by god. You would realise there is some force which exists who made this all and one should really value it. There are two tea stalls one before you reach the buddha statue and one after it. Both are places worth a stop sip some small tea coffee and click beautiful pictures for memory. The path itself is so lovely wherein there are flags with chants written on it. Overall I feel blessed to come here. So if you are in Mussorrie don’t forget to come. The drive from the Mussorrie library to this place is around 5kms which is not far and there is ample car parking near it after which you need to walk trek and climb. Have a great climb fellows.

Jabarkhet Wildlife Reserve

Reviewed By vodkaluge - London, United Kingdom

There are amazing views in this beautiful wooded park in including The Himalayas. There is also a very special viewpoint called Flag Hill which is adorned with Tibetan flags and where you make a wish or blessing. Wear hiking boots. Although the trail is not too tough there are stones underfoot & you need to have a good grip. Definitely go with a guide. Ours brought binoculars and pointed out some of the rare birds & showed us footage from the hidden cameras that showed a leopard in the same spot as we were only hours before!
