3 Fantastic Places to Visit on Your Trip to Uttarakhand

Bordered by Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal, the state of Uttarakhand is covered with towering Himalayan peaks. If you are looking to experience the serenity and natural beauty, Uttarakhand is the place you should visit. It has ancient holy temples as well as an abundance of forests and valleys. For those looking for trekking, there are plenty of options available too. Besides, several places in Uttarakhand are an absolute must-visit. Here are some of them     

         1.     Haridwar

Haridwar, also termed as the ‘Gateway to Gods,’ is one of the oldest living cities and one of the seven holiest cities in India. It’s located at the foothills of the Himalayas and is particularly known for Ganga river flowing through it. Every evening Ganga Aarti is performed in Haridwar at the riverbank which is a sight to watch. It holds a special place in the hearts of Hindu disciples.


         2.    Rishikesh

Not at all far from Haridwar is Rishikesh. It is visited in large numbers by spiritual seekers from the western part of the world for meditation, yoga, and spiritual enlightenment. This is why Rishikesh is filled with yoga institutes and ashrams. One of the best things about Rishikesh is that despite being a popular destination in Uttarakhand, it still retains the charm of narrow lanes of a small town.


         3.     Nainital

Nainital is a hill settlement in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand (Uttarakhand is divided into 2 regions: The north region is Garwahl and the south region is Kumaon). It is named after the Naini lake (Nainital in Hindi) which boasts of mesmerizingly beautiful emerald-coloured water. From here, you can also visit Neelkanth, a temple of Lord Shiva. If you are into adventure sports, you can also go for rafting.

Uttarakhand is a place that the more you explore it, the more it will pull you in. And because it does this, it’s easy to be taken over by the beauty and enjoy things slowly. However, if you want to explore more of Uttarakhand in limited time, it’s suggested to book a Uttarakhand tour package. You and your family will enjoy every second spent in Uttarakhand.
