i have been a frequent visitor to Uttarkashi and there have been a lot of development. The information hussain has is very limited, there is a lot uttarkashi offers - lots of treks, temples, off beaten destinations, so much.
Hmmm... I've got to catch the show "Mission Everest" on National Geographic channe. Great Page Hussein.
Tumhara Uttarkashi page bahut accha hai, shayad do-teen sal ke baad mai Bharat aur Uttarkashi lautunga! Just come back from Uttarkashi myself! Great page! Awesome adventure! I would love to see this area in the spring or summertime!
Nice pics!
Nice page!
