Situated in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayan range located 40 km (25 mi) from New Tehri, the district headquarter, 30 km from the hill station of Mussoorie. Dhanaulti is a tehsil in Tehri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand, India.

Dhanaulti is located on the important tourist circuit of Landour,Mussoorie,Kanatal,Chamba and New Tehri. The town is densely enveloped by the velvety rhododendrons, deodar, and tall oak forests. Heavy snowfall during winters, attracts many tourists here.

Dhanaulti is still untouched by the maddening summer rush to hill stations, so it offers a holiday privacy that many seek. As Mussoorie has become overcrowded, many tourists prefer Dhanaulti. Dhanaulti is also an up and coming Honeymoon destination.
