Uttarakhand is probably the only place in the world which gives you snow-capped mountains, golden beaches, pristine lakes and ancient temples all under one roof. If you’re up for some offbeat adventure in the Himalayas, this is the place to be.
Knowing the destination where you would like to go is one thing but knowing the route that would take to your destination is another. While there are several treks that take you through pristine scenery, what makes a trek itinerary interesting and thrilling is when it takes you exploring some offbeat destinations.
