The Garhwal Himalayas roll up to fearsome heights with vistas
that make you meditate and levitate. But snug in the rugged
mountains are also bugyals or alpine meadows, sleepy villages
and everlasting chai shops, which help you get your breath back.
Garhwal is full of the stuff that excites travellers, trekkers
and friends of the environment. For instance, rivers. This is
where the almighty Ganga spurts out of ice and where the Yamuna
puts in her first appearance. The Alaknanda emerges from the
same glacial plateau as the Ganga. There's the Mandakini and a
thousand smaller streams that are sometimes much more fun.
The lakes are amazing, sitting high up mirroring snow peaks.Down
in the forests, of Chilla, Rajaji and Corbett National Parks,
there are elephants, deer, birds, and maybe leopard and tiger.
People from different cultures are also seen here. People here
always willing to teach you a step of the local dance when
helped by the local brew. And you can discover legends in every
river, mountain, temple and lake. |
