Dhanaulti:
A one and a half hour drive from Mussoorie , ‘ DHANAULTI’ is a scenic beauty in the lap of nature. The lush green path ; full of naked as well as hills draped in pine trees gives a vibe of entering HEAVEN.
The giant rocks, green bushes, colorful flowers, birds chirping, swollen clouds, foggy peaks , snow clad mountains and the natural waterfalls peeping out from the rocks all add up to the beauty of Dhanaulti.
Dhanaulti Ecological Park:
It was a chilly afternoon when I reached Dhanaulti. The sun was playing hide-n-seek with the clouds.
I got down the bus with a “Wow !” on my lips. The mesmerizing beauty of Dhanaulti was a real treat to the eyes. I headed towards the ‘Dhanaulti Eco Park’.
N number of Top Ramen stalls, Corn Vendors, Popcorn sellers were all lined up at the main entrance of the ecological park. Before proceeding further, I decided to do a little ‘PAET POOJA’… and enjoyed the Top Ramen noodles . A plate full of crispy PAKORAS added to the Yummyyy delight.
Next I moved into the ‘World Of Wonders: eco park’. The first footstep gave the feel of me being the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ hopping into the woods to my granny’s place. It was nothing less than a fairytale. The magical woods and the garden area is indeed mystical.
It is a perfect place for conducting Pre- Wedding shoots. After two-three hours of strolling and exploring ,I headed to Mussoorie.
I was back in Mussoorie by late evening and moved towards the main attraction- ‘The Mall Road’.
THE MALL: MUSSOORIE
It was half past seven and I was at ‘The Mall ’.
It is such a beautiful place with so many shops, vendors all lined up providing the best of handicrafts and artifacts.
The steep roads, curvy paths, benches {to relax and enjoy the weather} ,historically carved barricades and poles and the dark and haunting corners and hilltops all describe The Mall Road.
An Aerial View Of the 'QUEEN OF HILLS'
I went in different directions to find ‘the best of the best’ for my loved ones. After hours of shopping ,I went back to my Hotel.The road to the hotel was quite steep.It was indeed a big task to reach there; seemed as if I was scaling ‘The Great Mount Everest’ with loads of shopping bags in my hands.
CHRIST CHURCH ,The Mall
The Christ Church is centrally located at The Mall. It is easily accessible through the Picture Palace entry of The Mall and is centrally located in the heart of the market.
DEHRADUN:
My next stop was Dehradun. It is a valley 30 kms from Mussoorie and is easily accessible with a drive of 45 minutes.
ROBBER's CAVE:
My heart was in my mouth, ever since I had witnessed the Robber’s cave. Such an enthralling beauty! It is a magnificent cave enclosed by giant rocks on both the sides and cold water till knees.
These three days had made me so RICH- Not in MONEY, but in EXPERIENCE. I have so many stories to tell, so many experiences and memories to share.
I am very glad to tick off one more hill station from my wishlist and I am looking forward to explore the beauty of our Mother Nature even more in the coming months...
Stay tuned for more !
