Uttarakhand is popularly known as the Land of Gods (Devbhumi) and at the same time, it is also famous for the adventure activities it offers such as trekking, mountaineering, rock climbing, White Water River rafting, camping and many more. It is a nature's paradise for travelers and offers unique beauty and adventure at the same time. Some of my personal favorites are:
Rishikesh:
If you like water sports, then Rishikesh is a perfect destination for you. Rishikesh is a spiritual city and is famous as Home of Yoga and Water Adventure sports.
It is located at a confluence of River Ganga and Chandrabhaga. White water river rafting is the most popular adventure activity of the region and camping, rappelling, rock climbing, trekking are other attractions for adventure lovers.
Roopkund:
Roopkund is a mysterious glacial lake, situated at an altitude of 5029 m above sea level and located amidst Trishul and Nanda Ghunti peaks.
It is said that over 500 people were killed due to a hailstorm around the lake and skeletons of these people can be seen here. It is a must for people who love trekking.
Milam Glacier:
Milam Glacier is the largest glacier of Kumaon area covering an area of 37 square kilometres and is situated at the base of Mount Trishuli.
Trekking, sightseeing, waterfalls, forests, cliffs and panoramic views are the main attractions of the place. Munsiyari is the starting point of the Nanda Devi trek and the trip includes a visit to the Nanda Devi base camp followed up by a trip to Milam glacier.
Valley of Flowers:
Valley of Flowers as the name suggests is a botanists delight and will definitely enchant you. It is located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.
