A pleasant climate and the green woods strewn across the high-and-lows of

the mountains make Mussoorie another important hill station in

Uttarakhand. Miles away from the nauseating summer in the plains,

Mussoorie serves the perfect summer retreat. Located in the Garhwal hills

and blessed by the abundance of many natural charms like waterfalls and

wild streams, Mussoorie is considered as Nainital’s best cousin to hang out.

The modern architecture quite in contrast with the wild setting is the actual

call of this place.

Rishikesh- Apart from the religious connection, Rishikesh often

stands out as an ideal summer gate away. Often covered as a part of

the pilgrimage circuit covering Haridwar and Mukteswar, two other

significant places, Rishikesh offers a great proximity to the holy

Ganges. If the wild force of the water doesn’t scare you and you love

taming the unstoppable then Rishikesh should be your call this

summer. River rafting sessions and beach volleyball near the

campsites by the Ganges are the most favorite activity of the visitors

at Rishikesh. A moonlit bed of sand by the river as illumined as the

moon makes a perfect escapade from the summer in the cities.

Rishikesh-

During winter season, the

place is deep covered in

snow and in summer this is

an ideal location to trace the

remnants of the snow in

mountain curves. Often

visited by nature lovers who

love solitary walk by the

woods in cool summer

afternoons, Almora is

renowned for its healing

climate. The solitude of the

place at times casts off a

melancholic spell but those

who seek tranquility prefer it

to Nainital which is always

crowded with visitors. Some

rugged forts, tranquil

temples and picturesque

valleys compose the lyrical

side of Almora.

The virgin hills of the quaint

Almora stretches into

Ranikhet as well. A well

maintained cantonment area

oozes an old world charm

around the area and the

small town in the vicinity

looks like a picture perfect

setting. The panoramic

vistas of the Himalayan

ranges only increases the

appeal to a great extent. A

visit to Ranikhet in summer

can surely beat away

summer stress and the

words like green meadows,

snowy hills, gushing rivers

and crystal clear sky no

longer seem like fairytale

phrases.
