Essential information of Uttarakhand

Here is some basic information of Uttarakhand state that will be handy during your visit to this beautiful state. Keep reading for some insights that you will find on any tourist map of Uttarakhand.

Food of Uttarakhand

The culinary treasure of Uttarakhand is as renowned as its natural wealth. The main food of Uttarakhand varies from Kumaon to Garhwal division. Between Pithoragarh and Pauri, the traditional food of Uttarakhand depends on what local tribes prefer to eat. Most people in Uttarakhand prefer vegetarian cuisine, although non-vegetarians also have plenty to choose from.

Like other hilly regions in India, Uttarakhand cuisine relies on simplicity. Kafuli is a nutritious dish prepared from Spinach and fenugreek leaves. This healthy dish is complimented by steaming rice. The aroma of Fannah and Chainsoo will make you want to crave for more Garhwali cuisine. Both dishes have an earthy flavour that is essential to local people. Kandalee Ka Saag, Baadi, Phaanu, and Dubuk are some of the famous food of Uttarakhand. Jhangora Ki Kheer is a popular dessert having a rich texture. Gulgula, Bal Mithai, and Arsa are other sweets to try in the region.

Climate of Uttarakhand

Weather of Uttarakhand can be tricky to predict, especially in high-altitude places. Some far-flung roads are vulnerable to landslide, while others remain cut off due to snowfall in the winter season. Before going on trekking or camping in high-altitude valleys, make sure to pack rain gear and winter wear. The peak of summer and winter season brings a river of honeymooners, pilgrims, and adventurers from India and abroad. Dehradun and Haridwar witness heat waves in summer and day temperatures can reach up to 40°C.

Milder temperatures between April and June prevail in the higher Himalayas up north. This time is ideal to make a pilgrimage or plan a honeymoon in Uttarakhand. March is the best time to catch full bloom at the Valley of Flowers. Temperatures in winter – which lasts from November through February – range between sub zero to 15°C, especially in high-altitude regions. Nainital witnesses milder winters and a reasonable amount of snowfall. Weather in Uttarakhand may vary as per geographical features of the state.

Festivals of Uttarakhand

The state of Uttarakhand features an amalgamation of Garhwali and Kumaoni cultures. It’s a microcosm of time-honoured traditions and beliefs which are celebrated with great fervour by the locals. Despite the recent burst of commercialism, environmentalism is a belief that locals hold dear to themselves. There are numerous folk songs and tales about nature’s bounty that predates the famous Chipko Movement. The Garhwal region celebrates Saradotsava in October every year in the picturesque town of Pauri. It showcases local talent in forms of art, dance, and music. Choliya, Jhodha, and Chanchi are popular dance styles in Kumaon region. Chhopati, Basanti, and Chhura are popular folk songs voiced by Garhwalis. Bhaitauli, Ganga Dussehra, Phool Dei, and Kandali are famous festivals of Uttarakhand. Hindi is a predominantly spoken language in Uttarakhand. Local languages of Uttarakhand are Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Jaunsari.

Tips and Facts about Uttarakhand

Do carry Uttarakhand tourist map as there are some remote places with no network connectivity. Travellers must follow safety procedures during natural calamities. Always stay abreast of weather updates during your stay in Uttarakhand. Avoid driving or riding on treacherous roads after sunset.

    Vipin's 5 days trip to Uttarakhand

    Our recent trip to Rishikesh and Auli was nothing short of magical! From the spiritual vibes of Rishikesh to the snow-capped beauty of Auli, every moment was filled with adventure, serenity, and breathtaking views. The hospitality and seamless arrangements made our trip truly memorable. We highly re
    commend this trip to anyone looking for a perfect blend of thrill and tranquility. !!! Auli was a winter wonderland! The snow-covered slopes were perfect for skiing, and the chair lift car was an absolute delight, offering panoramic views of the majestic Himalayas. The crisp mountain air and stunning landscapes made it a perfect getaway from city life.

    Hariharan S

    Mumbai

    Hariharan's 10 days trip to Uttarakhand

    The first two days of our trip was a total waste of time because of the lousy cab that reported to us one hour after we landed in Dehradun. And after that he has no money to pay the finest as his wheel was locked by the authorities for parking over time . Due to this attitude of the driver ,we were
    delayed for our trip to Rajaji and further that delayed and we missed the ganga Aarti at Haridwar . The next day too the same cab driver was hanging around and we refused to go in that car . PLEASE NOTE- This can was different than the video and photographs of the vehicle that was sent to us before booking the travel agent . Finally Mithila travels agreed to send us a better car and said that we have to pay ₹1500/- per day extra .. When we demanded to cancel our entire trip and asked for refund .. this price was brought down to ₹500/ per day and we had to accept because we were just hanging around Dehradun doing nothing for two days . Senior officials of Travel Triangle were also involved in solving the issue. After change of the vehicle & driver ..After understanding of the situation.... After the change of car & driver

    Rushabh's 4 days trip to Uttarakhand

    I recently had the pleasure of booking my trip to Rishikesh, Haridwar, and Mussoorie with Holiday Fusion, and I must say it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, everything was flawlessly planned and executed, making my journey truly memorable. Right from the beginning, the
    team at Holiday Fusion was incredibly professional, responsive, and attentive to every detail. They customized the itinerary perfectly, ensuring we got to explore the spiritual vibes of Haridwar, the adventure and serenity of Rishikesh, and the breathtaking beauty of Mussoorie. What impressed me the most: ✅ Seamless Planning & Hassle-Free Arrangements – From hotel bookings to transportation, everything was well-organized. ✅ Excellent Accommodation Choices – Clean, comfortable, and with great views! ✅ Professional & Courteous Drivers – Always on time and well-versed with the routes. ✅ Perfectly Curated Itinerary – A great mix of adventure, spirituality, and relaxation. ✅ Great Value for Money – Every aspect of the trip was worth it! Whether it was witnessing the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti in Haridwar, indulging in adventure sports in Rishikesh, or soaking in the scenic beauty of Mussoorie’s Mall Road and Kempty Falls, everything was magical, thanks to Holiday Fusion and their team. If you’re looking for a stress-free, well-organized, and memorable travel experience, I highly recommend Holiday Fusion! I can't wait to plan my next trip with them.
