Overview


Looking for the best way to explore Uttarakhand? Confused about where to start, when to go, and which destinations to include? All your Uttarakhand queries end here. Your perfect solution for a Uttarakhand tour is Justwravel’s Uttarakhand Backpacking. Give us 7 days, and in return, we will give you the goodness of Uttarakhand. This is a captivating destination nestled in the northern part of India, often referred to as "Dev Bhoomi" or the "Land of Gods." This state is renowned for its stunning Himalayan landscapes, rich spiritual heritage, and diverse adventure activities, making it a perfect spot for travelers seeking both peace and thrill. With its lush valleys, snow-capped peaks, and sacred rivers, Uttarakhand offers an unparalleled experience for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike. JustWravel is excited to launch our Uttarakhand Backpacking Trip, designed for those who wish to explore the hidden gems of this magnificent state during this festive season filled with Christmas and New Year celebrations. This journey will take you through some of the most picturesque locations, including Joshimath, Auli, Chopta, Tungnath, and Rishikesh. Each destination is steeped in natural beauty and cultural significance, promising unforgettable experiences.


This is your one-time ticket to explore Uttarakhand in its entirety with Uttarakhand Backpacking. This experience will take you through the hidden gems of the region. Our journey begins in Joshimath, a hidden treasure of Uttarakhand. Joshimath serves as a gateway to several Himalayan treks and is a significant pilgrimage site. It is famous for its scenic beauty and is home to the ancient Shankaracharya Math, which attracts spiritual seekers. The town is also the starting point for treks to Auli and Tungnath, making it an ideal base for adventure lovers.


Our next destination for Uttarakhand Backpacking is Auli. Auli is celebrated for its stunning views of the Nanda Devi and Kamat Kamet peaks. Known as a skiing destination, it offers a range of activities, including snowboarding and trekking during the winter months. Through chair car, we will explore the valley. The third and major highlight of our Uttarakhand backpacking trip is Chopta. Often referred to as the "Mini Switzerland of India," Chopta is a serene destination that offers breathtaking views and is less crowded than other tourist spots. It serves as a base for the trek to Tungnath, one of the highest Shiva temples in the world. The lush green landscapes and panoramic views make Chopta a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.


The fourth day of our Uttarakhand group tour will take us to a place that provides us with spiritual awakening and adventure at the same time. Tungnath is not only a religious site but also a trekker's paradise. The trek to this temple is rewarding, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. As the highest Shiva temple, it holds immense spiritual significance, attracting pilgrims and trekkers alike. The area is rich in biodiversity, with various flora and fauna to discover.


The last and most memorable destination of our Uttarakhand Backpacking is obviously Rishikesh. Known as the "Yoga Capital of the World," Rishikesh is a hub for spiritual seekers and adventure enthusiasts. The town is famous for its yoga retreats, meditation centers, and the sacred Ganges River. Visitors can indulge in activities like river rafting, bungee jumping, and attending the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti. Rishikesh's vibrant culture and serene environment make it an essential stop on your Uttarakhand tour, especially during the festive period when you can celebrate Christmas and New Year in a unique way.

The Uttarakhand Backpacking Trip offers an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and spirituality of this enchanting state. From the majestic peaks of Auli to the tranquil banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, each destination provides a unique experience that caters to both adventure seekers and those looking for peace. Join us on this unforgettable journey through Uttarakhand, where every moment is a blend of adventure, spirituality, and breathtaking landscapes, making it the perfect backdrop for your Christmas and New Year celebrations.
