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.

Neer Gaddu Waterfall is a famous waterfall for a small trek. The water flowing from natural rocky cliffs tempts the visitors to take a cool dip in the narrow stream. The trekking to the waterfall is an adventurous activity as it involves walking through the jungle on narrow trails. This is a beautiful waterfall and is extremely refreshing to stand near the waterfall. There are two bridges on the waterfall and few resting stops. Butterflies of different species are seen fluttering around the wildflowers, adding beauty to this wonderful spot. Water, soft drinks, noodles, and tea are available here in small shops. It is a mix of ascent treks and trails along the bank of the Ganges to reach up Neergaddu Waterfall.

We had a fabulous experience with Rohit. The hike itself was very beautiful, challenging at times, but the view on top was worth every minute. Rohit was the best guide I could ask for! We were in a group of 5 with all different fitness levels and he took care of all of us very well. He was a delightful companion through the trip and had so many great stories and information to share.

Top Tibba Day Hike is simply one of the best day hikes around Mussoorie if done via proper trails. Top Tibba(peak) is approx. 8,500 ft above sea level and is the highest peak around Mussoorie. Apart from offering some really spectacular views of the snow capped Himalayan peaks from the top, Top Tibba also presents you with great panaormic views of the entire valley below. The forest area around Top Tibba is abundant in leopards, black bears, red foxes, yellow throated jungle martins, kalij pheasants, barking deer, wild boars & more. But wildlife sighting is something that cannot be guaranteed but what we can guarantee you is a wonderful time on the trail observing and enjoying nature. Eagles, Kites, Buzzards and other birds of prey can be easily spotted here along with many other song birds. You won't want to miss it, when in Mussoorie.

Sincerely enjoyed my trail hike with Rohit to the near the top of Benog Top. The trails and scenery were beautiful and it was nice to be able to go at my own pace of choice. Was an overall laid back and enjoyable experience and not too stressful. Chai and conversation afterward was a nice reward! Would recommend to anyone interested in nature or hiking and in seeing a bit of Mussoorie that is off the beaten path.
