Chakrata is located in the Dehra Dun District, between Mussoorie and Simla. It was established as a cantonment in 1866 and first occupied in 1869.

Kailana which is located nearby, was established at the same time as an Army Convalescent Depot. Its function may have changed changed, as circa 1891, "The troops here consist of two bodies of men. A whole regiment is quartered upon two hills known as Chakrata proper. On an adjacent hill, called Kailana, which is about two-and-a-half miles from Chakrata , some 750 men (small detachments from several regiments and batteries), known as "details" are located. The "details" generally march up some ten or twelve days later than the regiment". [1]
