Mother Ganga has chosen Uttarakhand to come down and meet all those who worship her. The land must be the holiest as no ordinary land has the power to hold her calmness and fury at the same time. It is in Uttarakhand that you can still drink the water directly from the river as her pristine traits are unspoiled in this holy land. The habitations alongside the river would take you to an era where forests and human beings were still living in blissful harmony. The places are named after numerous lakes and valleys that are there and the state is considered as heaven for all the spiritual as well as adventurous souls as it has trekking, camping as well as water rafting facilities.
