The Garhwal & Kumaon Himalaya — our home mountains
Uttarakhand is where the Ganga and Yamuna are born, where the Char Dham pilgrimage winds between temples, and where peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kamet and Chaukhamba rise above wide alpine meadows called bugyals.
Northern Hill is based in Joshimath in Chamoli district — the gateway to Auli, Badrinath, the Valley of Flowers and the Nanda Devi region — so most of our treks start within a few hours of home.
The state is split into two Himalayan regions: Garhwal in the west and Kumaon in the east. Deep river valleys — the Alaknanda, Bhagirathi, Yamuna and Pindar — cut between ranges topping 7,000 m.
Below the treeline you walk through oak, rhododendron, deodar and birch forest; above it, bugyals stretch to the snowline and bloom with wildflowers each monsoon. Wildlife includes Himalayan monal, musk deer, bharal and, occasionally, the snow leopard.
