Chamba Uttarakhand

About 50 km from Mussoorie is the smal hill town of Chamba, Uttarakhand (of course don't confuse it with Chamba in Himachal).Chamba is yet another of those destinations which still stand oblivious to most tourists and therefore unspoilt and fresh like a daisy for the lucky few who venture out seeking new places to explore and enjoy Chamba is at an altitude of 1600 mt above sea level. Again really unspoiilt and with lot of pines and deodar and good views. Unlike Mussoorie, the place is very quiet and picturesque and an excellent place to relax to wash your city blues. One can reach Chamba in about 7-8 hrs from Delhi via Hardwar, Rishikesh & Narendranagar (290 km). One can also combine stay at Chamba with one at Mussoorie or Dhanolti and reach via Dehradun, Mussoorie and Dhanolti


Chamba is a town and a nagar panchayat in Tehri Garhwal district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is situated at the junction of roads leading from Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Tehri Dam/ Lake and New Tehri.

Nearest airport is Jolly Grant, about 75 kms away. Jolly Grant is connected with Delhi airport.

By road the town is connected with lots of important places in Uttarakhand like Dehradun, Mussorie, Devprayag and Uttarkashi.
