About Uttarakhand
Where the Himalayas meet the sacred and the sublime
Uttarakhand is a land of extraordinary contrasts. It is the state of Char Dham — the four sacred Hindu shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri — and also the state of Jim Corbett, India's oldest national park. It is the home of yoga at Rishikesh and the home of tiger safaris in the Terai forests.
The hill towns here carry genuine colonial character — Mussoorie's Mall Road and Nainital's lakeside promenade feel lived-in, not merely touristic. The lesser-known Kumaon region offers perhaps the most authentic Himalayan village experiences in all of north India: apple orchards, terraced farms, stone houses, and panoramic views of peaks like Nanda Devi and Trisul.
Whether you seek serenity, wildlife, pilgrimage, mountain escapes, or authentic village hospitality, Uttarakhand rewards every kind of traveller. Geranos Getaways curates journeys that balance the iconic and the offbeat.
