Devbhoomi means Uttarakhand. Anywhere you glance, eye-catching natural beauty greets. Generally speaking, all attractions in the place are accessible through either road or trekking route. Do not miss them during these autumn and winters. It is time for open-road adventures on the highways!
Jim Corbett National Park
Jim Corbett is a highlight in Uttarakhand and the drive to the national park is as exciting as the destination. Here, take a safari to view the Royal Bengal Tigers with over 600 species of birds. For those looking for adventure, one could trek through the dense forests surrounding the park.
Chakrata
The journey itself to the destination of Chakrata is just as bewitching. Scenically beautiful, yet quite unruffled, one has their ideal getaway point at hand. The whole region retains the colonial structures as old and adds allure while creating a feeling about its period. It attracts some traveling souls to view and to read amidst its wilderness here.
Mukteshwar
Mukteshwar is a picture-perfect mountain resort, which offers green surroundings with coniferous forest. The destination is ideal for serenity and quietness. From Mukteshwar, you can also get some stunning views of Nanda Devi Peak and many other beautiful summits. If you have not visited here, it’s the right time to plan your tour!
Harsil
Harsil is not tourist-friendly at all, but it’s a gem to be discovered. If you are looking for an offbeat experience, this is the perfect destination for you. Harsil offers a rich variety of activities such as handicraft workshops, hiking, trekking, and farming experiences.
Chopta
Chopta is one of the places in the country, promising a road trip that has nothing but the ultimate scenery of natural beauty. Chopta is also an important stopover for Char Dham pilgrims, hence best avoided during the months of May and June when it sees a peak footfall. Spring is probably the ideal time to see the wildflowers bloom at the spot.
Sattal
Sattal is located at an altitude of 1,370 meters and it has seven crystal-clear lakes which attract birdwatchers from all over. The view here is very rare, almost unmatched anywhere else in nature. You can also get a car on hire or even drive to this very quiet destination for a sight.
Mussoorie
If you are planning a road trip from Delhi, then Mussoorie is an excellent choice. It is known as the “Queen of Hills,” and it is a place for a peaceful retreat. You can also visit Dehradun on your way back, which is just 34 km away.
