Uttarakhand finds mention in the early Hindu scriptures as Kedarkhand, Manakhand and Himavat. It is often called the Land of the Gods (Dev Bhoomi) beccause of its various holy places and shrines. It was actually the ancient Puranic name for the inner stretch of the Indian Himalaya Mountains. The peaks and valleys of this state were known as the abode of gods and goddesses.

Uttarakhand is one of the most beautiful and enchanting region of northern India. Nature has endowed this land with so much beauty and spiritual bliss that it is also known as Dev Bhoomi, the Land of Gods. Ganga, Yamuna and scores of other rivers originate in Uttarakhand. Among them Ganga is the most holy and prominent as she represents the soul of India-her rich culture, history and civilization.

Uttarakhand, until 2007 known as Uttaranchal, is a stunningly beautiful state in the Himalayan North of India. It is broken up into a western part, named "Garhwal", and an eastern part named "Kumaon". Garhwal is more easily accessed.
