Uttarakhand · Quieter Hill Towns
Dhanaulti, Lansdowne, Almora, Ranikhet, Mukteshwar, Tehri, Kanatal, ChakrataBeyond Uttarakhand's best-known hill stations sits a wider set of smaller, quieter towns — Dhanaulti's cedar forests, Lansdowne's cantonment calm, Almora and Ranikhet's Kumaon views, Mukteshwar's orchards, and the lake and valley settings of Tehri, Kanatal and Chakrata.
None of these get anywhere near Nainital or Mussoorie's crowds, and we suggest them specifically for travellers who've done a first Uttarakhand trip already, or simply want a genuinely peaceful mountain stay.
March to June and September to November for the clearest weather across these towns.
Each is reached by a dedicated road journey from Delhi, Dehradun or a neighbouring hill town; we'll route the most sensible combination for your itinerary.
