We loved the Dehra Doon chalets. They were actually much nicer and more comfortable than we expected. My husband and I loved the view from the deck and also being able to lie in bed looking out over the valley to the sea. We were woken by sheep baaing outside the chalet in the mornings. We had our breakfast on the deck in the morning and watched fantails darting about and the native tuis coming to feed on the kowhai trees next to the chalet. It was such a restful, beautiful place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet respite from the more touristy parts of the area.
