Date: April 30, 2023.
Place: Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand.Route type: Top rope, sport (bolted), fun bouldering and multipitch too.
Best season: All year around except monsoon.
Climbing level: Suitable for climbers with experience (have done 5-6 months of climbing).
Accommodation: Resorts in Dhanaulti.
Contact person: Yash (Beyond the wall, 74981--63805).
Misc: It is a beautiful place, you can trek to Surkunda devi, visit Kanatal, visit Tehri if you have an extra day.
This site is getting ready, it already has 5-6 routes, with an amazing 2 pitch route (see photos below). The location is pretty, there are lots of boulders in the area too, a day can also be spent on relaxed bouldering and exploring.
Not a site with easy access, it was found and developed by Beyond the Wall group at Dehradun. They arranged our stay and food too, and made it a memorable trip.
There is a small hike (around 30 mins) to reach the climbing site. The hike to the 2 pitch route is longer and slightly difficult. The group is developing more routes there. There are a lot of boulders and you can explore and find lot of interesting bouldering routes.
The present routes are from 5a-6c types, ideal for intermediate climbers. All of them can be toproped too.
My suggestion would be to make it a 2-3 day trip. One day for climbing, one for bouldering and if possible, a third day for roaming around Dhanaulti.
