Backpacking Group Tour of Uttarakhand Overview
About the Tour:
Nature has a way to make it to the hearts of people and when it comes to witnessing it in its untouched grace, there's no better place better than Uttarakhand. Give way to an experience that offers the beauty of Auli, the adventures of Rishikesh and a trek to Chandrashila Peak that adds a thrill to this package. Imagine yourself on a trail blooming with rhododendrons, soothing sound of birds accompanying you, clear blue sky over your head and the green turf beneath your feet, could it be any better? As you reach the top of the peak, the 360 degrees vistas of mighty Himalayas wearing a cape of snow will make you spellbound.
An experience in the skiing paradise of Garhwal, Auli will be worth cherishing as well. As you pass through the dense forests of oak and coniferous in a cable car ride to Auli from Joshimath, the scenic view of the Garhwal peaks on your way will give you a fascinating affair. Get ready to boost your adrenaline in Rishikesh by indulging in white water rafting with its untamed currents. The turns, the drifts and the fast rapids will make you tremble yet the thrill it holds will make your every second worthwhile.
