The land of Gods

Boasting of enchanting view of the Himalayas, and cultural ethos that speak of simplistic living amidst nature and harmony – Uttarakhand is a land of sublime natural beauty and serene spirituality.

This land has every blessing of nature and Gods, the soaring Himalayan peaks, the steamy lowland jungles, the sacred rivers, revered temples and renowned ashrams. The state is an enticingly diverse region, with some of India’s best trekking, yoga schools, holiday towns and wildlife-watching all tucked into one little corner of the country.

History and Culture

Hindus think of Uttarakhand as Dev Bhoomi – the Land of Gods – and the dramatic terrain is covered with holy mountains, lakes and rivers. Twisting roads and high-altitude hiking trails lead to spectacular pilgrimage sites where tales from the Hindu epics are set. And something of these ancient stories seems to have been absorbed by the land, which exudes a subtle sense of actually being sacred – even to ultra-orthodox agnostics.
