How to reach Uttarakhand
The heavenly abode of Uttarakhand is an open invitation waiting to be accepted by the people. The state of Uttaranchal boasts of admirable road and rail network in terms of user friendliness. The state hosts a variety of colorful fairs and festivals all round the year. Uttaranchal should preferably be visited between the spring / summer months of March and June. Underneath are listed some of the ways to reach the ‘Abode of Gods’: 

By Air
the state of Uttarakhand has only one airport till now in the form of Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun. The second is in Pant Nagar, near Nainital, with limited flights. Almost all public and private airlines operate regular flights to Dehradun.

By Road
Uttarakhand has a wide-ranging road network covering the state. The state has an exceptional road connection with Delhi and many State Highways. They provide the linkage to tourist destinations and important places like Corbett National Park, Haridwar and Rishikesh. Regular bus shuttle services (private, deluxe, state or otherwise) are available for journey to Uttarakhand.

By Rail
Rail network is also quite very convenient in Uttarakhand. The key Railway Stations in the state are Dehradun, Haridwar and Kathgodam. Many super-fast express and passenger (local) trains connect these locations with cities in other parts of India. However due to difficult terrain of the hilly Uttaranchal, it is not possible to extend the railway services to interior and remote locales.

Places of tourist interest in Uttarakhand

There are some of the most popular places to see in uttarakhand where you love spending your time and uttarakhand sightseeing would compel you to come here over and again.
Badrinath
It is one of the four destinations that constitute the chardham, a sacred pilgrimage for every devout Hindu.

The Himalayan town occupies a place on the banks of the River Alaknanda and is located at an altitude of 3,133 m above sea level. The Badrinath shrine is dedicated to Lord Vishnu considered being the preserver of the universe in the Hindu mythology.
Kedarnath
Of all the chardham pilgrimage sites, Kedarnath has the remotest location, a 2-day journey from Gangotri in Uttarakhand. The sanctity of the site also lies in the fact that it is one of the twelve jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, a powerful deity of the Hindu Trinity. The temple town ofKedarnath is snuggled up at an altitude of 3,584 m above sea level. Picturesque mountain ranges and snow-laden peaks wonderfully circle the pilgrimage town of Kedarnath. The shrine of Kedarnath is at the source of the Mandakini River, near the Indo-Chinese border.
Gangotri
It is the place from where originates the Ganges, one of the most sacred rivers of the Hindus. Tucked away in the Garhwal hills, Gangotri shrine draws in lakhs of tourists from all parts of the world every year. One of the chardham destinations, Gangotri lies at an elevation of 3,048 m above sea level. Apart from devotees, the tourist spot is also visited by a good number of adventurers from around the world. Gangotri is located at a distance of 300 km from Dehradun in the state of Uttarakhand.

Also known as Lokpal Lake, Hemkund is a sacred tank in the state of Uttarakhand, located at an altitude of 4,329 m. The pilgrimage site can be accessed by undertaking a steep trek of 6 hours from Ghangharia. The lake of Hemkund is fed by glaciers from the Hathi Parvat and Saptrishi peak.
Haridwar
The sacred Himalayan town of Haridwar represents a living lesson on Hinduism. Located at the foot of the Shivalik Hills, the town attracts hordes of tourists and devotees from all corners of the world. Haridwar also holds significance because it stands as the gateway to the chardham, which includes Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinathji and Kedarnathji.
