Day 2

Corbett National Park

This morning we woke up around 04.30 hrs to catch up the jeep safari at Corbett national park. As all the safaris needs to be taken early in the morning we started of and to our luck one Deer was the only animal we gotta sight. Rest of the day we relaxed at our hotel.

Day 3

Corbett- Nainital

Uttarakhand is a beautiful state with amazing road routes with beautiful travel goals. We headed off towards Nainital after breakfast. We reached Nainital approx by 15.00 hrs. The hotel welcomed us with the great arrival drinks. Evening was a shopping and full of bargaining with the locals. Believe me we bought a legit Hoodie at 120₹

Day 4

Nainital - Bhimtal

Nainital also knows as Queen of lakes. There are in total 7 lakes which could be the best getaway for your cold winter evenings. You can paraglide over these hills. I took a glide at approx 1200₹ back in 2013. It was my first glide and was very lucky to experience it during sunset!!!

Day 5

Nainital

We had another amazing day just exploring this amazingly calm city. As you start off from your hotel after breakfast during December the baby Sunrays are good enough to keep you happy.

Day 6

Nainital - Rishikesh

We started off from Nainital and on the way we had an amazing rafting adventure!! People go all the way to Varanasi for taking a dip in Ganges! All I’d say instead of taking a dip along with thousands of other at still water why not to have a swim in the river which is the holiest!!!

Day 7

Haridwar

When you are in Haridwar you have to be at the temple for Ganga Aarti!!! This ceremony is the best view over the banks of the river. Huge flames of an individual poojari while performing the rituals showcase a perfect fire reflection!!

Day 8

Haridwar- Delhi

The last day is always the saddest! You have to go back to home( although I start getting homesick a day before the last day) but still you have an amazing bucket of memories (#moments) to carry for life!!
