Uttarakhand Tourism: In the run-of-the-mill life, for peace of mind, a walk towards the picturesque mountain with difficult conditions also arouses curiosity. There are many unnamed hills in Uttarakhand, which increase the thrill of rock climbing.
These hill stations with pure rocks may not be in Lime Light, but adventure tourists living close to nature do not forget to come here again. So let's take you to such hills present in Almora and Ranikhet, which not only inspire you to touch the height but also encourage you to climb difficult.

In Ranikhet, on the rock of Kotgarh, even after the Kargil war, soldiers have been given special training in rock climbing. The history of adventure travel here is centuries old. Earlier, along with human development, they used to take risks and reach unknown land in search of a safe place suitable for food and habitat. But now a lot has changed.
In this scientific era, the age-old journey of struggle now fills new energy and new thrill in the form of adventure tourism. Although crossing difficult mountains, climbing rocks, and long journeys through deserted forest areas are full of risk, the tune of moving forward and meeting nature also increases enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
Today, the craze of adventure activities like rock climbing, rappelling (moving towards the summit by climbing a water-soaked rock amidst the sharp edge of waterfalls), mountaineering, etc. is in full swing among the youth. It can be said that activities related to adventure tourism inspire to create harmony with nature and the environment. In this, nature gives us the strength to face challenges.
