Forest (22 kms), Dandachali Forest (21 kms) and Batwaldar Forest (10

Surkhanda Devi is one of the most sought after pilgrimage and tourist
destinations in and around Kanatal, largely because it is one of the
three temples considered sacred by Hindus --- the other two being Chamba
and Kunja Puri. The approach to Surkhanda Devi Temple is 5 kms from The
Terraces at a place called Kadukhal and thereon a short but strenuous
trek of about an hour.
Another important tourist destination is the Tehri Dam, which is located
33 kilometers from The Terraces. Situated on the River Bhagirathi, the
main tributary of the Ganges, the Tehri Dam and the large artificial
lake created by it are among the largest infrastructural projects taken
up in the entire Garhwal region of Uttaranchal. Tehri is the tallest dam
in Asia and the fourth tallest earth and rock fill dam in the world.
Other well-known places situated nearby include Dhanaulti, which is 12
kms away and Mussoorie, 35 kms away. One of the most sought after
tourist destinations in the vicinity of The Terraces is Shivpuri, which
is a heaven for river rafting. In recent years, river rafting in Ganges
has become a very popular, exciting sport and Shivpuri, located 75
kilometers from The Terraces, has emerged as the Whitewater River
rafting capital of India.
