Uttarakhand often referred to as the tourist’s paradise or Dev Bhoomi is among the most explorable states in India. The UK has numerous holy pilgrimage centers, ancient temples, and Ashrams.

The incredible topography of Uttarakhand with plains in the south region, snow-capped mountains, striking streams, canyons, and lakes adorns its beauty. The pleasant weather throughout the year, and rich flora & Fauna make it a worth-visiting tourist destination.

• Earlier Uttarakhand used to be a part of UP, and was carved out in 2000 with 2 regions, and 13 districts.
• Uttarakhand is the land of the two most holy rivers i.e. Ganga, and Yamuna.
• The state is home to India’s oldest national park i.e. Jim Corbett National Park which was established to save Bengal Tigers in 1936.
• Valley of Flowers, the frequently visited UNESCO World Heritage Site lies in Uttarakhand.
• It is home to all the Char Dham i.e. Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
• The only state with Sanskrit as the official language.
• Dehar Mines in Uttarakhand is believed to be one of the scariest spots in the World.
• In Haridwar, Ganga Arti is performed with full customs and rituals with millions of spiritual gatherings.
• Uttarakhand also houses The NAnada Devi Raj Jaat (about 230 km) which is the longest pilgrimage in the World.
• The oldest Nehru Institute of Mountaineering is also situated in Uttarakhand.

The best time depends more on the purpose of your Uttarakhand tour. For example, The Summer Season (March to June) is a great time to try adventurous sports like river rafting, trekking, paragliding, hot air balloon rides, and mountain bikes. The temperature ranges from 20 to a maximum of 35 degrees on hot sunny days.  Get face-to-face with amazing wildlife, and enjoy the scenic lush green views in Jim Corbett National Park

Winters (October to February) are often preferred for Char Sham Yatra, or visiting the Hill stations to enjoy chilly winters and snow-covered mountains. Trekking, Skiing, and ice skating are some of the popular winter sports to experience in extreme winters. The other benefit of planning the Uttarakhand tour package in the off-season is the opportunity to stay in luxury hotels at budget-friendly prices.

We suggest avoiding visiting Uttarakhand in Monsoons i.e. between July to September. Heavy rainfall may spoil the vibe of your Uttarakhand trip as most of the adventure spots are kept closed. 

Due to its religious significance, Uttarakhand is one of the most-after tourist destinations in India.  The holy place is well connected to all the major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, etc., and is easily accessible via road, train or air. 

You can book a train (Dehradun Express, Nanda Devi Express, Jana Shatabdi Express, and Doon Express),  or board a direct or connected flight as per your location. If you wish to travel to Uttarakhand via Road, you can choose to self-drive or hire a private taxi/cab.

The best thing about Uttarakhand food items is they are healthy, nutritious, and good for the stomach. Unlike the other heavy food items, UK dishes keep you full for a longer time without making your stomach bloaty. Now take a quick look at some of the best Uttatrkahand cuisines rich in taste, and nutritional value!

1. Kafuli: It's the delicious state food of Uttarakhand which is made using curd, fenugreek seeds, spinach, garlic, ginger, and other spices. In Garhwal, the nutritious Kafuli is called Dhapdi.

3. Chainsoo is another popular and protein-rich Pahadi dish of Garhwali prepared using Urad or Kali Dal. We highly recommend trying the authentic local delicacy with aromatic flavors. Another reason Chainsoo is so popular is the fact that it is cooked in Iron Kadhai on a low flame to retain its nutritional value. 

4. Kumaoni Raita: It's not the main course dish but enhances the taste of other delicacies. For localities, Kumaoni Raita(Curd) is a must-have food item along with their meals. This exclusive Raita is prepared with Curd as a main ingredient, turmeric, and cucumber. Do try the divine taste of Kumaoni Raita on your Uttarakhand tour package.

5. Dubuk or Dubke: The Oh-so-delicious Dubuk belongs to the Kumaon region of the UK (Uttarakhand). Lentils like Bhatt and Gahat are soaked for 7-8 hours and then blended into a smooth mixture with some spices, and ginger-garlic paste. The tangy dubuk tastes best with Rice and Bhaang ki Chutney. 

6. Tthatwani: It is a unique type of Pahadi soup with its roots in Kumaon. Thatwani is cooked in an iron Kadhai with a mix of lentils, rice paste, herbs, and masalas. It tastes even more delicious with white rice and Bhaang ki Chutney.
