Think as far into the past as you can, of an age when Indian subcontinent was part of present day Africa. They the sea swelled, the geo plates shifted and India broke away and drifted to Asian plate. It crashed into the Asian Plate with such a force that the prehistoric Tethys sea disappeared and gave birth to a new mountain range – The Himalayas. The land masses are still colliding into one another and the Himalayas are still gaining height.These lofty mountains are home to world’s highest peaks in territory that is still not wholly mapped. This is really lonely corner of the planet. The Himalayas are divided into three major divisions- The Karakoram, Himachal and Sivalik hills which span from the Ladakh in North west to the minor mountains and hills of north east.The higher reaches are snow capped throughout the year, have no vegetation or animals and have very low oxygen levels. The indomitable spirit of mankind has reached even this inhospitable terrain to establish temples of faith and monasteries of peace. The Hindu and Buddhist pilgrim centres are a wonder here in these forlorn far reaches.The shepherd nomads roam these semi arid wilderness with their herds of yak and sheep. Endangered animals like the snow leopards, himalyan lynx and fox cohabit with the Sherpas and other tribes.The fast flowing rapids of the mountain rivers, the craggy mountain faces, snow covered slopes, hot water springs and the biting cold are inviting for the rough band of ‘adventurists’ who come from all parts of the world to test the extreme. White water rafting, trekking, pilgrimage, mountaineering, rock climbing, para sailing, sky jumping, skiing, biking, rallying and the list goes on, the reasons for being in the Himalayas anytime of the year. Pack your bags and get going!
Almora Perched on a five-kilometre long horseshoe-shaped ridge, Almora is situated 1,650 metres above sea level. The view of the fertile terraced valley and four ranges of hills, Banari Devi, Kasan Devi, Shyahi Devi and Katarmal from the town make one poetic. What’s more, one can see the magnificent Himalyan ranges to the North with the peaks of Trishul, Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot rising tall in majestic splendour.
Haridwar According to Hindu mythology, Haridwar is one among the four sites where drops of the elixir of immortality(amrit) fell and site for MahaKumbhMela every 12 years. On a daily basis pilgrims travel from all over the country to bathe in the Ganges and to take part in the evening puja(arati), a memorable and spiritual experience, with the river set alight with thousands of floating earthern lamps and flowers offered to the river deities by the worshippers.
Manali One of most visited hill stations in India, Manali stands in the KulluValkey at just under 2000 meters. A starting point for many treks in this beautiful region of the Himalayas, Manali is laid back and welcoming.
Shimla The summer capital of colonial British era, Shimla is also called "The Queen of Hill Stations". Situated in the north-West Himalaya, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, it derives its name from "Shyamala" - the goddess Kali, whose temple existed in the dense forest that covered Jakhu Hill in the early 19th Century. The English renamed it Shimla. Covering an area of 18 sq km at a height of 7,238 ft and surrounded by pine, deodar, oak and rhododendron forests, its well developed facilities, easy accessibility and numerous attractions make it one of India's most popular and largest hill stations.
