Travel Guide for Uttarakhand.  

You should break down your Uttarakhand trip into regions when planning your trip, that is, Garhwal (Rishikesh, Haridwar, Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Mussoorie) and Kumaon (Nainital, Almora, Ranikhet, and Pithoragarh). The regions are distinct in terms of their cultural appeal and beauty.  

To the adventure lovers, the Garhwal region has excellent trekking trails such as Har Ki Dun, Roopkund and Nag Tibba, and the Kumaon region welcomes the travelers with serene nature walks and temple visits. Local cuisine like Aloo ke Gutke, Bhatt ki Churkani and Bal Mithai depicts the true flavor of the mountains.  

Another prudent thing to do is to reserve Uttarakhand tour packages that come with domestic transportation and sightseeing in order to access isolated mountain resorts comfortably.
