'Petrified Dhanaulti'


Dhanaulti is a beautiful hill station near Mussoorie. It's just 24 km from Mussoorie. If you go from Chamba, it's 31 km from there.

About:

Dhanaulti is a very beautiful place to visit. The valleys, the trees, people, roads, everything is very beautiful and heart winning. You can enjoy the breeze in the morning with a tea or coffee. Everything is awesome but when it comes to dark, Dhanaulti could be as frightening as you could think of and that's why I call it "Petrified Dhanaulti". 

You might have been to many frightening places in your life and would have witnessed many scary nights but this place is something very different. Somewhat you would have never thought about. The most frightening night I've ever spent in my life. Dhanaulti is a place where you need to throw your soul amidst the wind. The sound that the winds make is literally petrifying. It seems like the trees are fighting and screaming at each other. The paths are so silent that even the strongest soul would fear to walk alone. The people over there aren't seen outside their house after 9 o'clock and that's what it makes the place really frightening.
