Eco Park in Dhanaulti

Eco Parks are newly developed twin parks located in Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand, 500 metres from Dhanaulti Bus Station. It is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Dhanaulti as part of Mussoorie Tour Packages because it is located on the Chamba-Mussoorie road.

Eco Park is divided into two sections, Amber and Dhara, which are 200 metres apart and span 13 hectares. Both gardens were created and maintained by the Forest Department with the assistance of local youth in order to provide employment opportunities for the poor.
