Why Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand splits into two halves: Kumaon in the east, with Nainital's lakes, Corbett's tiger forest and Mussoorie's ridge, and Garhwal in the west, where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers climb to Badrinath, Auli's ski meadows and the Valley of Flowers. Rishikesh anchors the adventure end with white-water rafting and bungee jumping, while the hill towns work for slow family weeks. Roads are mountain roads, so itineraries are built around realistic driving times.

  • Ganga rafting and the evening aarti at Rishikesh
  • Naini lake, Sattal and the Kumaon hill circuit
  • Jim Corbett jeep safaris in the Terai forest
  • Auli's ropeway and Nanda Devi views
  • Tungnath and Chandrashila above Chopta
