Uttarakhand (English: /ˌʊtəˈrɑːkʌnd/), officially the State of Uttarakhand (Uttarākhaṇḍ Rājya), formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Devbhumi (literally "Land of the Gods") due to many Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres found throughout the state. Uttarakhand is known for the natural environment of the Himalayas, the Bhabhar and the Terai. On 9 November 2000, Uttarakhand became the 27th state of the Republic of India, being created from the Himalayan and adjoining northwestern districts of Uttar Pradesh. It borders Tibet to the north; the Province No. 7 of Nepal to the east; and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south and Himachal Pradesh to the west and north-west as well as Haryana on its south-western corner. The state is divided into two divisions, Garhwal and Kumaon, with a total of 13 districts. The interim capital of Uttarakhand is Dehradun, the largest city of the state, which is a railhead. The High Court of the state is located in Nainital.

Munsiyari is one of the finest places to experience the Panchchulli peaks of Kumaon Himalayas. The magnificent views of the peaks both during sunrise and sunset are really worth remembering throughout the life.

Adi Kailash is located in the Dharma valley of sub division Dharchula. the pkace is not easy to reach and one has trek for minimum 3 days to reach. but destination is worth the walk and the view is majestic and the reflection of mount Adi Kailash on Parvati Kund is just perfect

Excellent scenic view of the lake and Nainital Valley surrounded by the hills. Nainital local authority should construct a proper platform at the location.
