Having explored Uttaranchal I was mesmerised by the stunning mountains, the wonderfully inquisitive people, the lovely flora and fauna but above all the tranquillity in this untouched corner of India.

In just half a day it is possible to leave the buzz of Delhi behind and find a completely different pace of life in the foothills of the Himalaya.
Against a backdrop of magnificent mountain peaks you can take a trip back to a bygone era, to colonial Shimla where life revolved around intrigue and gossip on the Mall, or venture further to numerous small towns and villages on ancient Tibetan trade routes where most journeys are still on foot. Breathing fresh, pine-scented air, this is a region where you can walk for miles in stunning scenery, absorb the palpably spiritual atmosphere along the banks of the holy Ganges, search for tigers in the jungles of Corbett or simply relax and pamper yourself in a wonderful mountain retreat.
