A Soul-Stirring Journey To Uttarakhand
Travelling is not about covering long distances; on the contrary, it is about exploring nature, cultures, people, and most importantly your inner self. Seldom do we take a break from our ever-so-busy daily life and find time to reflect upon it. Travelling is perhaps the best way to unwind our mind when everything becomes too chaotic around us. A trip to Uttarakhand can be a fulfilling journey for a traveller who is desperately looking for a break. The beauty of snow-clad mountains, river streams, large farmlands, and breathtaking scenic views are sure to sweep you off your feet. Here are the few reasons why Uttarakhand is rightly called the “abode of gods”.
The Valley of Flowers: This one should be the top priority to visit if you have finally packed your bags to visit Uttarakhand. You can book some luxurious cottages in Uttarakhand and then embark your journey on this splendid place. This enchanting valley burst into youthful beauty every year during the spring/summer season. The months of February to August are best suited to visit this place.
Trekking: Adventure sports are an integral part of Uttarakhand’s culture. One can thoroughly enjoy adventure sports like river-rafting, bungee jumping, and mountain climbing but nothing can beat the charm of trekking and camping. Walking on that rustic path admits the mountains and the valleys will trigger your heart and soul. You are sure to fall in love with the peace and serenity of the place.
A visit to Asharams in Rishikesh: Rishikesh is that one place in India that imbibes the cultural ethos of Hinduism. Also known as the adventure capital of the state, this place is much more than trekking, river-rafting, and mountain-climbing. As soon as you enter these peaceful Asharams, your mind will begin to settle down and you will experience the peace that you have been longing for quite a while. It is a good idea to book a resort in Uttarakhand beforehand because this place is usually packed with tourists the entire year.
Star-Gazing: If you are a city-dweller then chances are very less that you have the luxury of gazing at the stars during night time. Uttarakhand’s sky is free from any kind of pollution because it is crystal clear. You can enjoy gazing at the stars all night long and spend some quality time with yourself. If you are with some friends you can also organize camp-fire.
