Chakrata is located in the state of Uttarakhand in India and is one of those places that can be defined by many things. It is characterized as a small region, as a cantonment town (military base) and as a hill station. The state of Uttarakhand is bordered by Himachal Pradesh to the northwest, Tibet to the north, Nepal to the east, Uttar Pradesh to the south and southeast, with a small part touching Haryana in the west. Basically, Chakrata is surrounded by the mighty Himalayan mountain range and if covered in green. And boy the scenic vistas are truly amazing! Chakrata is a trekker’s dream and offers technical challenges along with a needed type of quiet peacefulness when winding your way through the trails. Make sure to hit-up Tiger Falls where you can take a needed dip after your hike up. Spend an afternoon in Makhti Pokhari Village to relax, to fuel up on some local grub and to get some stunning views of the valleys. Visit the Mahasu Devta Temple (which is dedicated to the god of justice) just for a photo op. Chakrata (love saying the name) is covered in Oak Trees and Rhododendrons and the hillsides are cut by chalky outlined trails weaving back and forth. That’s what this bracelet was made to resemble. The greens, off whites and reddy browns of the Rhyolite Stones capture that landscape perfectly. The Mukhi Rudraksha Seed Beads and Aged Ox Bone Beads add to the organic feel of this area. Mukhi Rudraksha Beads are considered sacred and associated with Lord Kartikeya who is the god of wisdom, victory, and bravery. These beads are also known to enhance focus and discipline. A Bone Mala Skull is added to remind you to go seek out these out of the way regions where the surprises can happen. There’s a reason why the beaten path is boring. Venture to Chakrata just to enjoy one of those long sunsets at Chilmiri Neck and bring along this bracelet as your spiritual guide.
