I got to know about TravelTriangle weekend getaways while browsing on Facebook. I chose Kanatal out of the options available, as I had already been to the rest of the places offered by TravelTriangle for the particular weekend. Javed from TravelTriangle guided me through the booking process, making sure that everything went smoothly.

Weekend Getaway To Kanatal: Things To Do On A Solo Trip

Post breakfast, we did some adventure activities inside the camp which included rock climbing and firefox. A few of us skipped rappelling due to tiredness.

After lunch, we paid a visit to the Surkanda Devi temple via bus. From the drop off point, the temple was a two-kilometer uphill trek. An hour later, we reached the top of the hill and the view was incredible. We caught our breath, clicked some pictures, and enjoyed the stunning panoramic view of the mountains before heading back to our campsite.

At the lake, we got a chance to do some jet skiing. Thanks to the superb bargaining skills of Javed, we got his price down to 180 rs per person for one round of the entire lake on the jetski. Afterwards, we stopped at a local dhaba nearby for lunch at 2 pm. An hour later, we started our journey back to New Delhi. We arrived back in Delhi at midnight.
