Hotels in Uttarakhand, India
Uttarakhand sits in northern India, straddling the Himalayas, and is famous for the Char Dham pilgrimage sites-Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath-plus adventure sports like white-water rafting in Rishikesh's Ganges River. Summers are pleasant (70-90°F/21-32°C), perfect for trekking to Valley of Flowers or safari in Jim Corbett National Park, while winters bring snow and 32-50°F/0-10°C temps, making Auli a top spot for skiing and snowboarding. If you're into fewer crowds and cheaper stays, plan a trip during the monsoon (July-September), but be ready for rain on those mountain trails.
