Chamba (New Tehri, Uttrakhand) Chamba   is a town and nagar palika in New Tehri (Tehri Garhwal) in the state of Utrrakhand, India . It is situated at a junction of roads connecting Mussoorie   and   Rishikesh   with the   Tehri Dam   reservoir and   New Tehri. Its nearby tourist places are   Dhanaulti,   Surkanda Devi   Temple, Ranichauri,New Tehri, and   Kanatal, halfway between Chamba and Dhanaulti. About 50 km from Mussoorie, the small hill town of Chamba, Uttarakhand, is another of those destinations yet unknown to most tourists and therefore unspoilt and fresh like a daisy for the lucky few who venture out seeking new places to explore and enjoy. Chamba is situated at an altitude of 1600m above sea level. There are pleasant forests of pine and deodar trees, with some good views. Unlike Mussoorie, this place is fairly quiet and picturesque, hence an excellent place to relax and wash off the city blues. One can reach Chamba in about 7-8 hrs from Delhi via Haridwar, Rish
