Experiential Himalaya – Uttarakhand

Home to the “Chardham” and also known as “Devbhoomi,” Uttarakhand is much more than a spiritual destination. With a long history that goes back to the times of the Mahabharata, there will always be something new to discover each time you come back to this gorgeous Himalayan state in Northern India. From hiking and trekking to absorbing the beauty of nature and the local wildlife, there is something for every type of traveller here.

And, if you want to get away from the crowds of pilgrims visiting the various temples in the state, Dehradun offers a relaxing getaway. Dehradun gets its name from two words – “dera,” which means camp and “dun,” which means valley. Did you know that it is one of the oldest towns in India? It is said to be the place where Lord Rama and Lakshmana did penance after killing Ravana.

The British made it popular as a summer getaway. You will still find relics of the colonial era at every turn in Dehradun. So, if you’re looking to escape the chaos of the city, experience the true culture and heritage of this region with eco-tourism opportunities from Experiential Himalaya.
