India's diversity knows no bounds. Just as every part of the country has something uniQue to offer in its own intrinsic style, Uttarakhand too has something special to call its own and share with the world. This Himalayan state has an abundance of natural beauty and is the birthplace of many rivers, including the holiest of them all, the Ganga. Indian lore has its roots steeped in the soil and stories of this region. It is believed that the gods made this land their home owing to its magnificent beauty, which is why this place is also known as Dev Bhumil . The famous Kumbh Mela held every twelve years is amongst the many colourful festivals and fairs that are celebrated in villages across Uttarakhand.

This region is a treat for all types of holidaymakers. Adventure enthusiasts can get their adrenaline pumping skiing down steep snowy slopes or going rafting in the rapids of the many rivers that have their source here. Nature-lovers and seekers of knowledge can immerse themselves in the abundance of flora and fauna, forests and wildlife, and find peace in the many temples built to worship the pantheon of gods and goddesses. Uttarakhand boasts of a rich and vibrant culture infused with the tradition of the past, which continues to be seen and celebrated in the festivals and diverse art forms that are distinct to this land. The colourful folk dances and songs, the festivals and rituals, are experiences that command discovery.
