Interesting places to visit in the most beautiful Uttarakhand with the best tour packages from Kolkata and elsewhere

Words often fall short when it comes to describing the sheer beauty of the young Indian state of Uttarakhand. With its mountains, rivers, valleys, and greenery, one cannot but appreciate the sheer beauty of Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand is often called Devbhumi, which translates to ‘the land of the Gods’.

You can choose to visit Uttarakhand in both summer and winter seasons. Depending on the respective season, your eyes may be treated to lush greenery and mesmerizing colours in the valleys, or white snow and chilling cold.

Best Places to Visit in Uttarakhand for a Memorable Experience with the best tour packages from Kolkata and elsewhere

Dehradun – The ‘Capital’ City:

Sahastradhara, Dehradun

Wondering why the word capital up there has been put within quotes! Yes, Dehradun is the capital of Uttarakhand, but it is also to signify that it is certainly a capital when it comes to scenic beauty. Located amidst the Doon Valley with the river Ganges on one side and the river Yamuna on the other, you should not miss Dehradun when you travel to Uttarakhand.

Some of the most interesting things to do in Dehradun are visits to the Robber’s Cave, Tiger Falls, and Sahastradhara.

Jim Corbett National Park – A Thrilling Adventure:

Here is a place usually included in all Excursion2India Uttarakhand Tour Packages from Kolkata, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune or Gujarat, or from any foreign country. And, it is rightfully so!

Jim Corbett National Park

There is no better place to become one with the wilderness at its most untamed than at the famed Corbett National Park. Named after the famed wildlife conservationist, Jim Corbett, this is the oldest national park in the country. It is home to a high density of the majestic Royal Bengal tigers. There is fairly good chance that you might spot a tiger on a safari at this national park.

Kausani – Say Hello to the Himalayas:

Kausani is a hill station and Village situated in Bageshwar district. Its claim to worthy fame comes from the fact that it offers a breathtaking panoramic 360-degree views of numerous Himalayan peaks. Some of the peaks visible from here include Panchchuli, Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kedarnath, Badrinath, among others.

Mahatma Gandhi is believed to have dubbed Kausani as the ‘Switzerland of India’ because of similar landscapes.

Mussoorie – As Good as it Gets:

A view of Mussoorie

Mussoorie is one of the highest hill stations in Uttarakhand. It offers chilling temperatures with an average high of only 18°C and low of 10°C, with temperature dropping to close to zero or sub-zero levels during winters.

There are plenty of interesting things to do like taking a trip to the top of Lal Tibba, and a ropeway ride from Jhula Garh to the second highest point in Mussoorie known as Gun Hill.  Visiting the ever beautiful Kempty Falls is always an experience of its own.

Nainital – Who can Forget:

Naini Lake, Nainital, Uttarakhand

Yet another visual marvel, Nainital is one of the most visited hill stations in Uttarakhand. Often crowded, but you may still regret if you don’t visit Nainital during a trip to the Kumaon region.

Located in a valley surrounded by mountains and consisting of a lake shaped like a mango, Nainital offers an experience that very few can even claim to match. The weather here is almost always so soothing. Boating in Naini lake is an out of the world experience. It has other famous lakes – Bhimtal, Naukuchiatal, and Sattal – located close to it.

As you can see, Uttarakhand, carved out of Uttar Pradesh in 2000, is not a place you should consider for a hurricane tour. You need to devote adequate time it deserves. You can do it by selecting one of the tailor-made inclusive Uttarakhand tour packages Excursion2India can offer.
