Amazing Uttarakhand

Land of untouched natural beauty and spirituality, Uttarakhand is a Himalayan state of North India, famously known as Devbhumi (or the Land of the Gods). Carved out from Uttar Pradesh, the state, formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a place that not only boasts of a scintillating view of the Himalayas but also exhibits a cultural ethos which speaks of a harmonic coexistence with nature.

Uttarakhand is a popular pilgrimage site, as it is the originating spot of the Ganga and the Yamuna, two of the most sacred rivers for Hindus. Uttarakhand is home to the Char Dhams, the four most holy sites of pilgrimage revered by the Hindus – Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Thousands of tourists visit Uttarakhand annually to pay homage to the Char Dhams.

With oaks, birches, silver firs and rhododendrons adorning the steep mountain slopes, Uttarakhand offers you a glimpse into an untainted and idyllic world.

Places to visit in Uttarakhand

Mussourie

Mussourie is often called as Mansoori by the locals. The name is derived from a shrub called Mansoor which is indigenous to the area. A perfect holiday spot for family, there are many places like Kempty falls, Bhatta falls, Clouds end, Lal Tibba etc which are unique and beautiful. Kempty falls is the main attraction and at any time of the day you are sure to see atleast a 100 visitors in the waterfall! Frequent “Excuse me bhaiya, please move, need to take a photo etc” need to be digested while taking bath. Still it is a nice experience considering the cool weather. We had a hot plate of maggi just after the dip and it was heavenly!

Rishikesh

Haridwar

One of the best ways to explore the rich and diverse history of India is by visiting the holy city Rishikesh with our especially curated Rishikesh tour packages. It is one of the most important cities for pilgrimage for Hindus. Rishikesh is not only famous for its many temples and holy centers, but also for its ashrams and wellness camps that teach guests the purest forms of yoga, Ayurveda and other means of holistic living. Apart from this uplifting lifestyle, you can also experience the immense natural beauty of Rishikesh, with its gushing rivers, tall mountains, and beautiful stretches of green jungles. River rafting and bungee jumping are the two experiences you must try here.

 

Nainital

A land cradled in the enveloping sights of seven mountains, Nainital has always been one of the top hill stations in India. There is no escape from the mesmerizing views that nature has to offer here.

The immediate draw is the crescent shapes of Naini Lake from which the name Nainital has been derived. The experience of boating in the wonderful weather with enchanting sights all around is something difficult to forget.

Another lure is the exotic Nainital Zoo, with its many exquisite species. Some other attractions such as the Eco Cave Garden and the Astronomy Institution ARIES identify Nainital with nature studies and exploration. Located at a height of 1,938 meters above sea level, Nainital is also famously referred to as the Lake District of India.
