The Terraces

What People are saying

Brilliant with just a few niggles

All in all a very positive experience with just a few things that left a sour taste in the mouth. To start - stunning property, well maintained and in a brilliant location at 8500 ft. The food served at the coffee shop, Italian restaurant and dhaba was just brilliant. Definitely did not expect that quality of food at that height and location!
The staff were absolutely brilliant. Quick to respond, pre-emptive and always looking to help - everyone at the property deserves a thumbs up.
Since we visited in the monsoon, we didn't get the opportunity to have a clear view of Swargarohini and the other mountains visible from The Terraces.

Coming to the negatives -
1. The bathroom was tiny, dirty and in a bad state. Barely any space to move and for what the Terraces is priced at, it was absolutely ridiculous.

2. The wi-fi was not working. Now this would not have been an issue however we had paid for wi-fi in our package and if its not available due to network issues, then the onus of providing the service or reducing the charge comes on to the team at the Terraces.

3. Steam & Sauna are both chargeable at the spa. I understand being charged for a hot tub, but its ridiculous to charge for a session in the steam room.

Paradise near Delhi

Terraces at Kanatal is a great option for people considering a quick get away from delhi. Approx 7-8 hours by Road, it's also easily accessible via Jolly Grant Airport Ddun.

Great location at 8500 ft, panoramic views and adventure trek options make the visit worthwhile. Rooms are spacious and modern. Good quality is top class with almost all cuisine options. What really stood out was the helpful nature of staff and personalised service. Spa experience not to be missed. Bonfire and soulful singing of their inhouse band makes the visit memorable.

Monsoons added to the charm. Look forward to coming back and soon

Name says it all!!

True to its name, we could see a wide Himalayan range from our room and clouds passing through between us. Well built and maintained property. Special mention to the choice and food preparation.

A few hiccups - while reservation, we were told that all rooms have same valley view; but when we arrived, our rooms just had thick trees in front of them with no view. After, a lot of persuasion, we were moved to a different category room - view was absolutely awesome. At the time of check out, we were charged for mini bar, which we did not use. When confronted, nobody was taking ownership - they soon realised, and let it go.

If not for above hiccups, it deserves a 5 star. Should visit for property, view and food.

Awesome Hospitality

Kanatal is a small village in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Kanatal is 78 km from Dehradun, 38 km from Mussoorie and 12 km from Chamba. It is on the Chamba-Mussoorie road and nearly 300 km from Delhi.

The hotel GM operations: Mr. Vikhas Chopra ensured the details are taken care of. The location is picturesque. The drive from Hrishikesh to Chamba (take a halt before Chamba town). and then from Chamba to Kanatal is very very good.

The gardens are well kept & the different levels at which the garden terraces are is just well thought of.

The chef (forgot his name) is from Lucknow - he ensured the food is piping hot and sees if any patron desires something specific. We overheard a conversation that JAIN food was also arranged for a guest.

The Mohan da Dhaba is perfectly located with KHATIYAS to lie down on & SIP LOVELY TEA (ask for less sugar and kadak) with bhajiyas without (Soda/MSG). We did and thoroughly enjoyed over some cool breeze and a lovely sunset.

The best part of this location is that you can witness a beautiful sunrise right from any room and the sunset too.

The highlight during our trip was the evening 8pm onwards live music with Ashu, Sameer and the lead singer (again forgot the name)... only a guitar, and i guess a localized Conga was simply wonderful with nostalgic songs and cold weather with a peg a lovely whisky.....
Guests: are requested NOT TO USE MOBILE PHONES AT THIS LOCATION ESP WHEN THE MUSIC IS ENJOYED BUT ALMOST ALL.
THOSE WITH CHILDREN R REQUESTED TO ENSURE KIDS DO NOT DISTURB THE LOVELY MOMENTS ENJOYED.

During our trip parents of children didnt even bother to hush their noisy children & created a mess.

The food spread is very very good!!! Try the local juice and for sure a cup of butter scotch icecream with Mr. Vikas Chopra. He will simply love it!!

Thank you again for the lovely memories. Looking fwd next year same time.
