Garhwal
Himalayas
 |
When
the eastward caravan of the Aryans first encamped on the banks of
Ganga, since then Garhwal, the devbhoomi (abode of gods),
was closely related with the legends and mythology, specially
with the legendry heroes of Maha- bharata and Ramayana.
Garhwal
has its prehistory hidden in the heavy veils of time. Recent archelogical
excavations near Srinagar, and Mordhwaj date some settlements back to 800
B.C. |
Geographically,
Tons river separates Garhwal from the Himachal Pradesh in the west, and
district boundaries of Kumaon in the east. Starting from the foothills
from the south , the region extends upto snow clad peaks, making the Indo
Tibetan boundary Today Garhwal consists of Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Pauri,
Tehri, and Uttarkashi districts and is spread over some 55,000 sq. Kilometers.
| Tourism
as pilgrimage ,is an age old pheno- menon in Garhwal, Fortunately
the recent trend of tourism towards nature have provided it
better prospects to be the perfect destination. Considering
the thrilling land architecture, unique Himalayan flora
and fauna, and of course the culture heritage, Garhwal,
surpasses the other parts of Himalayas. Apart from beig the source of two
most important life giving
rivers
of North India . i.e. Ganga & Yamuna, the area
is evidenced by a variety of landforms viz. Snow peaks, black
mountains,
steep escarpments, |
 |
deep
gorges, hanging valleys , glaciers and lakes, numerous
gushing streams
and
swift cascading,
falling
, foaming rivers, and lush green
meadows.
The
lure of Garhwal Himalayas is irresistible
for
the
mountaineer,
as it nestles some of the most challenging
peaks e.g.Nanda Devi, Trishul, Shivling,
Bhagirathi,
Kamet,
Neelkanth, Dunagiri, & Banderpunch etc.
In
the words of Dr. T.G. LONGSTAFF, a seasoned traveller, and mountaineer,
who first set foot on the summit of Mt. Trishul.
“I
still believe that Garhwal , is the most beautiful country of all Asia.
Neither the primitive immensity of Karakoram, aloof domination of Mt. Everest,
the softer Caucasian beauties of the Hindukush, nor any of the many other
regions of Himachal can compare with Garhwal. Mountains and valleys, forests
and alps birds and animals , butterfiles and flowers, all combine to make
sum of delight usurpassable elsewhere.The human interest is stronger than
in any other mountain region of the world, for these anciently named peaks
are written of in the earliest annals of the Indo_Aryan Race.”
 |
There
is still more to Garhwal , than meets the eyes. Its mountains and valleys,
forest and meadows, butterfiles and flowers are in prefect harmony.
Its sights, scent, sound and silence provide a high degree
of sensual delight.
Apart
from belong the Mecca o Yoga and meditation,Garhwal is a destination of
trekker, mountaineer, water sports lover (Rafting ,Kayaking ), skiler,
wild life viewer , and pilgrim. |
