Real Travel Story • 14–17 August 2026
Four Friends, One Tempo Traveller and a Monsoon Escape to Chakrata
This is the real story of Asim, Rishab, Shiva and Ashutosh—four friends who travelled from Delhi to Chakrata with Monarch Travel Services, stayed near Tiger Fall, explored the green mountain landscape and returned with memories captured in these original photographs.
Our Delhi to Chakrata trip by Tempo Traveller was planned as a relaxed mountain break for four friends. We wanted to travel together, enjoy the route without managing separate vehicles and have enough room for our bags. The journey with Monarch Travel Services gave us a shared road-trip experience from the moment we left Delhi until we came back on 17 August.
Leaving Delhi at Midnight
Asim, Rishab, Shiva and Ashutosh started the trip on the night of 14 August. We left Delhi at around 12:00 midnight. A night departure worked well for us because we could spend the early hours on the road and reach the hills in the morning.
The mood changed gradually as the city lights disappeared and the mountain route began. Because all four of us were travelling in the same vehicle, nobody had to coordinate a separate car or keep calling each other at every stop. We could talk, rest and enjoy the journey together.
Anyone planning a similar pickup can first compare the fleet and booking options for a Tempo Traveller in Delhi. The right vehicle depends on the number of passengers, luggage, comfort preference and hill-route availability.
Morning Arrival and Our Stay Near Tiger Fall
We reached the Chakrata area between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning. After travelling through the night, our first priority was to check in and rest. We stayed at Green Valley Hotel, located roughly 10 kilometres before Tiger Fall.
The view from the hotel was one of the best parts of the stay. Green hills, clouds and the quiet mountain surroundings created exactly the kind of atmosphere we had come looking for. Instead of rushing immediately to the next place, we took some time to freshen up and recover from the overnight journey.
Afternoon Visit to Tiger Fall
After resting at the hotel, we headed towards Tiger Fall in the afternoon. Travelling in August meant the surroundings were green and the sky often looked cloudy. The drive, the mountain atmosphere and the time spent together made Tiger Fall a central memory of our Chakrata trip.
We did not want the day to feel like a race between tourist spots. The plan was simple: reach comfortably, enjoy the place and return without unnecessary pressure. That slower pace suited a friends’ trip perfectly.
Moyla Top Trek and Open Mountain Views
During the trip, we also experienced the landscape around Moyla Top. The trek added a different side to the holiday: open views, green surroundings and the feeling of being away from crowded city routines. These were the moments when the trip felt less like a checklist and more like a genuine break with friends.
The photographs below are from our real visit. For us, the best part was not only reaching a viewpoint—it was the laughter, breaks and conversations along the way.
Why a Tempo Traveller Worked for Four Friends
A Tempo Traveller may sound like a vehicle only for a large group, but our trip showed why extra space can also be useful for a smaller friends’ group on a multi-day hill journey. We could stay together, carry our bags in one vehicle, take breaks according to the group and avoid the stress of coordinating more than one car.
Small groups considering the same kind of trip can review the 9 Seater Tempo Traveller in Delhi. This does not mean one capacity is automatically right for every group; the final choice should be made after sharing the passenger count, luggage and complete route with the booking team.
- Everyone stayed together: the journey felt like part of the holiday, not just transport.
- More room for a long drive: useful when travelling overnight and carrying luggage.
- Simpler coordination: one pickup plan, one route and shared stops.
- Flexible travel pace: breaks could be planned around the group and road conditions.
Our Return from Chakrata to Delhi
On 17 August, it was time to begin the return journey from the Chakrata and Tiger Fall side towards Delhi. The return always feels different: the excitement of arrival is replaced by conversations about the best moments, the photographs everyone took and the next trip the group should plan.
We came back with memories of the overnight ride, the view from Green Valley Hotel, the afternoon at Tiger Fall and the open landscape around Moyla Top. Most importantly, all four friends experienced the complete journey together.
Planning Notes for a Delhi to Chakrata Friends’ Trip
Our itinerary was personal to our group, but a few simple planning decisions can help anyone preparing for a similar journey:
- Share the exact pickup point, travel dates, return date and passenger count before asking for a quotation.
- Tell the operator how much luggage the group will carry so the vehicle can be selected accordingly.
- For an August hill trip, check the latest weather and road conditions before departure and keep some timing flexibility.
- Carry suitable walking shoes, a light rain layer, water and essential medicines.
- Confirm what the quotation includes, especially tolls, parking, driver allowance, taxes and any hill-route conditions.
- Avoid building an overly tight sightseeing schedule after an overnight journey.

Our Honest Takeaway
This trip was special because it was simple and real. Four friends left Delhi at midnight, reached the green hills in the morning, rested with a beautiful valley view, visited Tiger Fall, experienced Moyla Top and returned together on 17 August.
For us, Monarch Travel Services was not separate from the holiday—the Tempo Traveller journey itself became part of the memory. If your group enjoys road trips, mountain views and travelling together at a comfortable pace, a Delhi to Chakrata trip can be a rewarding short escape.
