Uttaranchal is a state with a major chunk of area under forest cover and comprising mainly of hilly terrain, all the three Himalayan ranges, the greater, middle and lesser. Even after much of development, there are acres and acres of hilly terrains that are untouched and far away from the daily hustle bustle of crowds. That's where the trekkers step in. With so much of raw, natural wilderness, Uttaranchal is a trekker's paradise. There are places which are in their most primitive forms, in state of pure wilderness.
Himalayas are stunningly beautiful, while you trek you just want to savour every sight that you see. Each view is better than the one gone before and at every step there is the curiosity to find what lays ahead. A close look at the flora and fauna, the alpine meadows, lines and lines of oak trees. It is not just a physical journey but also a cultural and spiritual one while you trek in Uttaranchal. It gives you that unique opportunity of meeting the Himalayan tribes, the mountain folk and knowing their lives from close by. A study of their customs and costumes is quite interesting. Treks to many glaciers and kunds that are considered spiritual are also enlightening experiences.
