Untouched nature in all its splendour is what Uttarakhand offers visitors. The state has been blessed with gorgeous natural beauty. The fact that almost 45.43 per cent of its geographical area has a dense forest cover, makes it all the more remarkable. The state is host to the mighty Himalayas, which guarantee a rich growth of flora and fauna, a pleasant climate and a peaceful and serene environment. The many glaciers here are sources of some of the major rivers of India, including the Ganga and the Yamuna. Snow-covered mountain peaks, like Nanda Devi, Badrinath, and Kamet, offer stunning views, while oak, rhododendron, deodar, and pine forests leave one in awe.
Flying to Uttarakhand by air is one of the best options. There's a Jolly Grant Airport (DED) which operates non-stop flights to various cities. Train is the convenient and economical way to travel to Uttarakhand. You can easily book a train ticket to any of the cities in Uttrakhand. Approximately 34 national highways connect Delhi to Badrinath, with an additional 7 highways passing directly through Badrinath. For public transportation, Uttarakhand operates around 1,000 state buses, making travel easy and accessible.
The best time to visit Uttarakhand is generally from March to June and September to November for pleasant weather and ideal conditions for outdoor activities like trekking and sightseeing.
