Uttarakhand is enriched with the God's bounty in the form of picturesque landscapes, diverse varieties of flora, fauna & avian life. the state has set itself as a major tourism destination in India and attracts the tourists from abroad to explore the uncharted beauty of the "DEV BHOOMI". the majesty of Himalayas, beneath which lies the sacred Char Dham (Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath) captivates the pilgrims and tourists to its divine beauty. the other tourist destinations like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Dehradun, Auli, Mussoourie, Joshimath, Dodital, Gaumukh, Dhanolti, Kotdwar, Pitthorgarh, Almorah, Champawat, etc. gives the visitors an array of choice to plan and send their holidays.
