Hi there,
This is Arjun from India. I love nature so I always travel to explore beauty of nature. Fortunately my fathers hometown is in “UTTRAKHAND” India. which is surrounded by the great Himalayas.

so I visit there once in a year this time I was going to attend my cousin’s wedding I never lose the chance to visit there.
So my journey started from Kanpur Uttar Pradesh. I reached Rishikesh early in the morning then I boarded a bus to New Tehri which is 75 km away rom rishikesh. The entire road is surrounded by the hills. You found many small water falls on the way.

For those who don’t know about new Tehri this district is in Uttarakhand very beautiful place.

here is Asia’s largest water dam. I have reviewed that place if you want more info place visit Here.
Weather is very cold here if you love snowfall then you visit last week of December or first week of January.

This place is in the way of “Gangotri” so people who is going for “char dham” they should spend at least one day here.
