| Chamoli |
 |
If mother nature has ever smiled on earth, it must
have been in Chamoli that enchanting land in
the arms of the Himalayas. During the monsoons, a
thousand blooms burst forth in all brilliance in the
fascinating Valley Of Flowers. With an
amazing wealth of flora set aglow with the golden
rays of the sun, Chamoli is one place that reverberates
with spirituality and has a strong association |
with a number of Hindu religious myths and legends.
While the stress and pressures, of the jet-age catch
up with every city-dweller, Chamoli calls you to a
wonderful re-discovery of your roots. Untouched by
the pollution and rigmarole of urban life, Chamoli
waits to open vistas of nature in their pristine glory.
A visit to this place will leave an unforgettable
imprint on the visitors mind.
