Uttarakhand is a place of myth and mountains. Hindus think of it as Dev Bhoomi – the Land of Gods – and the dramatic terrain is covered with holy peaks, lakes and rivers. Twisting roads and high-altitude hiking trails lead to spectacular pilgrimage sites where tales from Hindu epics are set. Its numerous attractions include beautiful trekking trails, the picturesque hill stations of Mussoorie and Nainital, river rafting tours and yoga ashrams around Rishikesh, and Corbett National Park, famous for its Tigers.
Snow-capped Himalayan peaks, serpentine rivers, revered temples, quaint villages, vibrant culture, and World Heritage Sites, Uttarakhand’s sheer natural beauty and diversity beckon travelers from across the world. Be it cruising through the rapids of the Ganges, trekking to some of the fascinating peaks, skiing through some of the picturesque slopes, enjoying a cable-car ride, or soaking in the mesmerizing views of the Himalayas, Uttarakhand is a dream destination for all.
