With God's GraceSteeped in religious mythology, legends and heritage, Uttarakhand is home to a number of revered temples, holy rivers and spiritual sites. Devotees flock to here for pilgrimages to Char Dham (four religious centres namely Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri and Gangotri) and to Panch Prayag, the confluence of rivers in five sites that ultimately form River Ganga, one of India’s most sacred rivers and worshipped as a goddess, along with visits to several other destinations of religious importance (like Bageshwar, Joshimath, Baijnath to name a few) in the state that is also referred to as the land of pilgrims.
Feel the ThrillUttarakhand is the ultimate adventure destination and the answer to all your thrill-seeking woes lies here. Bestowed with snow-carpeted slopes ideal for high-altitude skiing; the Himalayan ranges for trekking, mountaineering and rock climbing; gurgling rivers for white water rafting, pristine lakes for canoeing and kayaking, and mountain paths best suited for biking challenges - there is no dearth of adventure sports here
Nature's BountyUntouched nature in all its splendour is what Uttarakhand offers visitors. The state has been blessed with gorgeous natural beauty. The fact that almost 45.43 per cent of its geographical area has a dense forest cover, makes it all the more remarkable. The state is host to the mighty Himalayas, which guarantee a rich growth of flora and fauna, a pleasant climate and a peaceful and serene environment. The many glaciers here are sources of some of the major rivers of India, including the Ganga and the Yamuna. Snow-covered mountain peaks, like Nanda Devi, Badrinath, and Kamet, offer stunning views, while oak, rhododendron, deodar, and pine forests leave one in
Into The WildA haven for nature and wildlife enthusiasts, ornithologists, botanists, and tourists and adventurers in general - Uttarakhand’s rich and varied wildlife never ceases to amaze. The state boasts as many as 6 national parks - including the popular Corbett National Park famed for its tigers and the Govind National Park that boasts about 15 mammal and 150 bird species along with several medicinal plants - that are home to a diversified range of flora and fauna, including endemic, rare and even endangered species of animals and birds. Along with this, the state also boasts two conservation reserves - Asan Barrage and Jhilmil Tal - and one UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are quite a few lakes in the state that welcome migratory birds as well, which attract birdwatchers in large numbers
