Situated in the eastern province of Garhwal and Kumaon, Nanda Devi "the goddess of joy" in the Hindu mythology, is the highest (at 7818m) and most sacred of all the peaks in the Indian Himalaya. Until very recently the peaks and the valleys of the adjacent Nanda Devi and Panch Chuli massifs were off-limits to the foreign travellers. However, with the opening up of the Gauri Ganga valley, we have been able to put together a fascinating itinerary in the Mountain stronghold.

The drive from Delhi to Rishikesh is delightful through rural India past green fields and orchards, visiting en-route Haridwar, one of the holiest towns of India. Thereafter we drive through Himalayan villages along river Alaknanda. The confluence of Alaknanda with river Bhagrathi at Deo Prayag is a picturesque site. Its here the name Ganga is given to the sacred river. We trek through the Himalayan villages, thick forests very rich in colorful bird and wild life and enchanting high altitude meadows. Certain points en-route offer breathtaking views of mighty Himalayas peaks including the majestic Nanda devi and Trisul. The Roop kund lake is located at 4780 mts. and bones of the people believed to be 300 years old were found buried near this mystic lake and some of them can still be seen if one wishes to, by digging the snows around the Lake.
