Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand is India’s Himalayan pilgrimage and hill-station heartland: the Ganga cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh, the four Char Dham shrines, colonial hill stations at Mussoorie and Nainital, the Kumaon temple country around Almora, the ski slopes of Auli, the UNESCO Valley of Flowers, and the tiger forests of Jim Corbett. Roampedia organizes Uttarakhand by state → district → town/base → famous place, with business listings added only after verification.
