Why go to Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand, the land of the gods, is the easiest way to swap Delhi's rush for the mountains. In a single weekend you can camp under pine forests, trek to one of the highest Shiva temples in the world at Tungnath, catch Himalayan views from Auli, or try water sports on Tehri Lake. Quieter hill towns like Chakrata and Mukteshwar offer waterfalls, caves, temples and fresh air, and Kainchi Dham draws visitors for its peaceful ashram. Whatever your vibe, there is a trip here for it.
Best time to visit
March to June is pleasant and great for treks and sightseeing. October and November bring clear skies and crisp mountain views after the monsoon. December to February is snow season in higher places like Auli and Chopta. The monsoon, roughly July to September, can cause landslides on mountain roads.
How to reach
Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport and Pantnagar Airport serve the region, and Dehradun, Haridwar and Kathgodam are the main railheads. Most weekend trips are an overnight drive from Delhi.
