ADVENTURE IN THE HILLS-IN INDIA

A tour of Uttarakhand, made up of 14 hilly districts of former Uttar Pradesh, reveals an area of great natural beauty with picturesque hill stations, trekking trail, and ancient Hindu Pilgrimage centres in the shadow of towering Himalayan peaks. Garhwal, home to a number of holy spots, is the more visited region. At Haridwar, the Ganges, India’s holiest river begins its journey through the plains after descending from the Himalayas. This gives the town a unique status, making it a must-visit destination for al devout Hindus. The ashram town of Rishikesh nearby is a more peaceful town with numerous temples, interesting ashrams and ghats situated in a large valley, of doon, between the Shiwaliks to the south and the higher ranges of the Himalayas to the north. Dehra Dun is increasingly becoming a popular retirement retreat. The jewel of the area, however, is the quaint hill station of Mussourie, 2000m above sea level.
