Uttarakhand, the neighboring state of Himachal Pradesh, offers stunning views of the Himalayas. If you are wondering where to spend your summer vacations, we suggest you consider Uttarakhand and more specifically the Garhwal region of the state. The state offers dramatic terrain and is covered in sacred peaks, lakes and rivers. So take a ride on the winding roads and high-altitude hiking trails that lead to spectacular pilgrimage sites where stories from Hindu epics are set.
Tehri Garhwal – the beauty of Uttarakhand

Trekking Options in Tehri Garhwal

Trekkers usually start early in the morning from Chopta village and can witness the breathtaking panoramas of the Garhwali and Kumaoni Himalayas. If you are lucky you can even see the spectacular view of the big mountains including Nanda Devi, Trishul and the Kedarnath group. The 5km walk is moderately strenuous and takes a few hours, passing through Tungnath Mandir, which also happens to be the world’s tallest Shiva temple.
