Adventure of Uttaranchal
Uttaranchal Trekkings
The
beauty of the Uttranchal Hills is picture-perfect, a fusion of high mountain valley
and lakes, of many streams and among India's greatest rivers, Carmine rhododendron
blooms and scarlet flame-of-the-forest blossoms are luminous in jungles of dense
green, while the faith of an old people has kept alive a lifestyle that dates
back by several centuries. These are the playgrounds of the gods, where legends
have the sanctity of history, and where the people are warm and hospitable in
a manner unknown to modern metropolises.
But there is plenty of interest
here for the amateur trekker too. For those interested in the fusion of art and
culture with religion, the popular temple pilgrimages and hilltop temples will
provide sufficient material for the rewarding journey. Botanists can spend months
studying the vast treasure-house of plants here. The birds of the Garhwal &
Kumaon Himalayas, and their profusion, will captivate bird-watchers. And for photographers,
professional or amateur, the canvas of mountain scenery and village homes will
provide a wealth of material. Nor is trekking in the Uttranchal hills expensive,
for one can stay at any of a number of rest houses, travelers lodges or dharamshalas
at a nominal cost.
Trekking routes remain open from April to October,
though the best period is considered to extend from April to June, and from mid-September
to November.
