Originating from Uttarakhand’s Devprayag, the mighty Ganges meanders down through the Himalayas before reaching the plains. It travels for around 2525 kilometres from the Garhwal Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, crossing North India’s Gangetic Plain. In Uttarakhand, the Ganga, unlike the plains, is cleaner and appears beautifully turquoise when the weathers are ideal. And soaking the feet into the chilly waters while enjoying the mountain views is a different feeling altogether. Here are is a list of 5 best riverside resorts in Uttarakhand to enjoy the breeze and the view:
