eco-tourism options
The majestic coniferous trees from an enchanting backdrop to the mountains
with broad-leafed species like the Oaks, Maples, Birdcherry, Hazelnut,
Walnut, Horsechestnut and Rhododendrons adding grandeur to the landscape.

to veil secrets of Nature, the vines flowing from atop the trees seem
to invite the visitors with open arms. The violas popping up from
under the forest floor and the riot of colors provided by the anemones,
primulas, buttercups and many other herbs in the alpine meadows lay
a colorful feast before eyes of the beholder.

variety of Himalayan fauna. The Himalyan Tahar and the Ibex can be
spotted as silhouettes on the high ridges in the trans-Himalayas.

in the company of colorful pheasants including the Monal, the Western
Hornes Tragopan, the Koklas and the Kalij. The lucky ones can even
be traeted to rare sight of critically endangered species like the
Snow Leopard and Snow Cock.

and the festivities associated with these religious places. Even a

in meticulously decorated palanquins, devotees dancing to the rhythmic
play of traditional drums and clarions, leaves a lasting imptint on
one's mind.

and cultural richness of the State coupled with its simple peace loving

tourist destination. Anybody with a zest for life, a spirit of adventure
and a love for nature will find all that his heart desires amongest
