Gadhwaal, the southern region of the state of Uttarakhand in India, is called Devbhoomi, i.e., the Land of the Gods. Situated in the middle of the Himalayas, along the lower altitudes, it could be called just one of those places where one wouldn't mind getting lost. The serene winds, low dense clouds, crisp sunlight, the mighty Ganges flowing alongside with her many twists and turns, curving and carving deep valleys between the gigantic mountains, the rhythm of its swiftly flowing waters and the silent chirruping of the petite mountain birds. The wonders the Himalayas conceal are, I believe, only for the eyes of those who dare a journey to its heart.
These are lands of enormous beauty, hardly exposed to the hustle and synthetics of conurbation. Engulfed with an air of spirituality, the divinity of the numerous temples and the chastity of the nature envelops the hearts of its visitors. The assortment of some of the most powerful temples in the world reminds us of our glorious past and supreme culture. The very forests fill our hearts with awe and respect for the nature that made us, gave us the power of reasoning, and protects us. No wonder, a trip to the four great temples(Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri) is comparable to a trip to the Heaven itself.
