Location Name: Dehradun
Dehradun is one of the oldest cities of India and has recently been declared as the Provisional Capital of newly created Uttaranchal (Now Uttarakhand) State in the month of November, 2000. Also known as the ‘Abode of Drona’, Dehradun has always been an important center for Garhwal rulers who were captured by the British. The headquarters of many National Institutes and Organizations like ONGC, Survey Of India, Forest Research Institute, Indian Institute of Petroleum etc. are located in the city. Some of the premier educational and training Institutes like Indian Military Academy, RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College), Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (IGNFA), Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) etc are also there in Dehradun. It is a favoured destination as it attracts tourists, pilgrims and enthusiasts from various walks of life to its serene environs. Add to this the abundance of special Basmati rice, tea and lychee gardens which contribute in turning the city into a paradise. The district is named after its chief city Dehradun. During the reign of Aurangzeb, Ram Rai, Guru of the Udasi Sikhs, on being ordered by the Mughal king to retire to the wilderness of the Dun, had pitched his tents here in what is now the Khurbura locality of the town and had also built a temple near Dhanawala. Around these two sites, grew up the town popularly known as Dehra. The term dun or doon means the lowlands at the foot of a mountain range, and as the bulk of the district lies in such a terrain, it justifies the dun part of the name.

Location Name: Gangotri
One of the main religious places among the four Char Dham pilgrimage areas, Gangotri, situated in Uttarkashi, is closely related to Goddess Ganga, the river that we know as Ganges. The history of Gangotri dates back to centuries when Goddess Ganga transformed herself into a river to dissolve the sins of King Bhagirath’s forefathers, following his penance. Gangotri is a popular pilgrim place in India, which stands at an altitude of 3042m and emits a highly pious aura. Religious rituals are in full swing in the Gangotri temple with the aarti ceremony performed by the pujaris of the Semwal family. The river Ganga originates from the Gangotri glacier and is known as Bhagirathi. The name Ganga picks up later on after the river passes Devprayag and merges into the river Alaknanda. The striking presence of the snow-clad mountains in the vicinity and the pure crystal clear water of the Ganges flowing around add to the sanctity of the place. Vegan food dominates the culture and is available in the local food joints or dhabas. Non-vegetarian food and alcoholic drinks are a strict no-no.
