The Dhanolti GROOVE GARDEN  

Perched in Dhanaulti in the Garhwal foothills, Groove Garden offers sweeping mountain-view stays at about 2,268 m elevation. The retreat sits near Tehri (roughly 17 km from the town center) and is a short hop to Surkhanda Devi (3.2 km), Mussoorie (≈32 km) and Tehri Lake (≈40 km). Pet-friendly and perfect for nature seekers who want crisp, pine-scented air and Himalayan panoramas.

Rooms lean into wood-and-glass design—think Canadian pine and deodar ceilings, walls and floors with glass panels that frame the peaks. Options range from top-floor Swiss Chalets with private balconies to Junior Wooden Suites, Super Deluxe, Suites with a kitchenette, and cozy Deluxe rooms. Most rooms include private washrooms with geysers and 32-inch TVs; many have glass walls or balconies for unbeatable sunrise views.

Free Wi‑Fi and complimentary parking for self-drive guests. On-site perks include a restaurant, barbeque area, bonfire and music nights, air-gun games and binoculars for scene-sighting, plus tour assistance to book local excursions. Staff can arrange car rental, and there’s a doctor on call and a safe-deposit box; pets are welcome.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property; staff speak English to help with arrangements.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and regional flavors so you can taste Garhwal specialties. Barbeque evenings and bonfire nights add a social, cozy touch to dinner time.
