Kanasar is an idyllic meadow glade surrounded by some of Asia's oldest and largest deodar cedar trees, located roughly 26 kilometers from Chakrata town in Uttarakhand. Perched at an altitude of approximately 2,165 meters (7,100 feet), this peaceful highland opening is renowned for its mammoth virgin deodars, with tree trunk circumferences exceeding 6.3 meters.

At the center of the clearing stands a small temple dedicated to Kanasar Mahasu Devta, tucked peacefully under a canopy of ancient needles. The serene meadow works as a favored picnic and camping destination, featuring charming Swiss cottage tents, wooden eco lodges, and a historic British era Forest Rest House built in 1898. Travelers enjoy relaxing on grassy slopes, listening to mountain birds, and walking shaded forest trails.
Truth is, laying on the soft meadow grass while shafts of morning sunlight pierce through gigantic cedar canopies is pure relaxation. It offers the ultimate unhurried forest escape in Uttarakhand.
The best months to visit Kanasar are from April to June and September to November when mountain weather is pleasant and refreshing.
