The 6 Best Scenic Walking Areas in Uttarakhand, India
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.

Birla Ghat is also amongst many ghats of Gangaji in Haridwar. We had a stay at an ashram just overlooking Birla Ghat. It's a Bengal based ashram with extremely beautiful Durga Maa temple. One must consider this place for accomodation. (Extra reviews!) Ya so like all other ghats, at Birla Ghat too Ganga Aarti is done every evening. It's much less crowded than the famous Har Ki Paudi. You can take part in the aarti. It's beautiful.
