Places in Uttarakhand You Never Knew Existed



Planning a vacation in India primarily leads us to two places. The sandy, glistening beaches of South India immediately hits us like a wave and the misty mountains of the North never fail to capture our awe. However, a lot of people crave for more travelling options beyond the usual Nainital road trips or the same lake views that one finds when they visit the latter. This is why Uttarakhand tourism has been really active in promoting places that have not been visited much by tourists but offer the serenity and calmness that the people crave during a vacation.

Whether it is an escapade with your friends or that treks in Uttarakhand you have been planning for months, the state will never disappoint you with its well kept secrets that are finally emerging as popular travel destinations.

Mukteshwar


Nainital has a lot of places around it that are virtually unexplored and therefore a safe haven for tourists trying to escape the bustle of the busy town. Mukteshar is one of those places, with its 7,500 feet of glory helping you experience the clean air you so desperately miss in cities. The town’s biggest attraction is the fact that you can see almost a 180 degrees’ view of the Himalayan range with a few of its tallest peaks. You can also encourage the adventurer in you by enjoying a spot of rock-climing near Chauli ki Jali, the highest point in the town.

Munsiyari

It might be far from the nearest metropolitan city of New Delhi, but the town of Munsiyari is every bit worth the journey that you undertake. Called the Kashmir of Uttarakhand, Munsiyari is one of the most popular new destinations in the state. Its panoramic view complemented with almost no commercial disruption has made it a favorite among travel enthusiasts. Do not miss out on the treks that can end up giving you the best views you have ever captured on your camera!

Binsar


The small town of Binsar may look unassuming at first, but it hides one of the biggest secrets of the state of Uttarakhand: the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. Unlike a lot of national parks or sanctuaries in India, Binsar only has the option of trekking when it comes to exploring the sanctuary. It is a heavenly place for people interested in ornithology, as the place houses more than 200 species of birds with the number almost doubling during migration periods. Binsar also has little cafes with brilliant views of mountain ranges that will make your dining experience a memorable one.
