Who says.....GOD'S OWN COUNTRY ..... is just KERALA?
I say...........GOD'S OWN COUNTRY..... is my INDIA !
Let me introduce you all to a few places in the ever so beautiful state of Himachal and Uttrakhand (or Uttranchal).
These two states are in the northern part of India.
UTTRAKHAND was fomerly known as Uttranchal. It is also reffered to as "DEV BHOOMI" which means "Land of the Gods" due to the many Hindu temples and pilgrimage centers found here. Uttrakhand is known for its natural beauty , Himalayas, and the beautiful Terai region.
The capital of Uttrakhand is Dehradun.
HIMACHAL PRADESH is towards the north west of Uttrakhand. It is again a state with immense natural beauty, mountains, rivers and jungles.
This is the only state which forbids the use of polythene and tobacco products.
The capital of Himachal is Shimla.
Introducing Uttrakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
DEHRADUN (UK)-CHAKRATA(UK)-HATKOTI(HP)
Will let the pics do the talking.....
Yamuna river ..En-route Chakrata
Bridge that leads to Kalsi
Chakrata.... a beautiful small little hill station
Snow clad mountains.... breathtaking views from Chakrata
Time to move on from Chakrata..... towards Himachal
You won't believe ....SNOW!!! in mid March .... a little beyond Chakrata
It sure was a bumpy ride
Oppsss.... had to wait for the road to get clear
Didn't mind waiting.... beautiful views surrounded us
At last.... beautiful views along with wonderful roads !!
Market place in Tuini
Hatkoti temple
Jai Mata ki bolo
After a short and a refreshing stay in Hatkoti and after visited the temple..... it was time for us to leave.
We did not want to go back via Chakrata , infact decided to take the right turn after crossing the bridge in Tiuni. This would lead directly to Vikasnagar.
Kids on their way to school
Bridge at Kalsi..... which leads to Vikasnagar
Finally Dehradun
