Nothing quite as exhilarating as climbing the Himalayas, is there? But before setting sight on Everest Base Camp, there’s so much Uttarakhand has to offer. Trishul and Kedarnath are top options as they are open peaks. But keep your eyes on the prize – Nanda Devi, towering at a grand 7816 metres. In the Chamoli District, most climbs start at Munsyari through Lilan, Bogudiar, Martoli, Nasanpatti, Bhadeligwra before you attempt the summit. In addition to ice, glaciers and cliffs, this one takes you through the dreamy Valley Of Flowers. Are you sold?
