The Himalayas with
gushing rivers, majestic snow clad peaks, enchanting lakes and a
rich plethora of flora and fauna - described as the "Adobe of Gods".
Quite naturally then, the blissful air of divinity and
postcard-picture beauty that envelopes the Himalayas lends it a
touch of paradise.
Garhwal, comprising the six districts of
Dehradun, Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Pauri and Tehri, is a
storehouse of antiquity - a mecca for the devout and a heaven for
adventure sports like river rafting, aero sports and skiing, making
it an essential on the itinerary of adventure lovers, pleasure
seekers and pilgrims alike.
The sacred places of Badrinath,
Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri are located here and so are the
sources of the most venerated rivers Ganga and Yamuna. The legendary
valleys of Garhwal abound with natural beauty and also offer a
distinct style of hill temple architecture and delightful
handicrafts. |
