Nestled in the upper reaches of the Himalayan range, Kanatal stands tall at a height of 8500ft above sea level. The hill town offers unhindered views of snowy crests and other stunning mountainous vistas including peaks ranging from Mt. Bandarpoonch to Mt. Nanda Devi. It lies on the Mussoorie - Chamba highway and is gradually emerging as a popular getaway for locals as well as a distinct holiday destination for tourists. The famous Kodia Jungle, is among the main tourist site situated here. This scenic forested area is recognised for its dense and lush forestation, which serves as home to several animals and birds. You can easily spot wild boars, ghorals, musk deer and barking deer while roaming here for sightseeing. Trek to one of the famous Shakti peethas “Surkanda Devi” is a delight itself and with availability of numerous water activities at the Tehri Dam nearby add to become a perfect blend, which one seeks on a perfect leisure cum adventure getaway.  

Outdoor Monks is a motley crew brought together by our mutual love of travel and exploration. We, the children of the mountains, started the Outdoor Monks initiative to enable likeminded nature lovers to curate journeys for life while ensuring sustainable travel that is responsible, safe and green. We believe in leaving no trace behind (eco-friendly travel), empowering the locals (we always hire locally and focus on creating employment), and giving back to the locals (medical diagnosis camps & educational workshops).

An experience in the mountains guarantees that you will learn more than you came looking for, and leave with a new perspective. Experience the Himalayas, their energy and culture when you travel with Outdoor Monks!
