Travel to North India :

India is fortunate in possessing one of the worlds most extensive and fertile lands, made up of the alluvial soil brought down in the form of fine silt by the mighty rivers. Lying south of the Himalayas, these Great North Indian Plains consist of the Indus basin, the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin, and the tributaries of these mighty river systems. This was the region, which saw one of the earliest civilizations on earth, the Harappan or Indus Civilization. From than onwards, this region remained in the center of many great moments of human civilization. Coming of Aryans; Vedic Age; the age of Great Epics; formation of Mahajanpadas; rise and fall of great empires like Mauryas, Guptas, Delhi Sultanate, and Mughals; and at the end of it all the oppressive British, and the freedom of India in 1947. This region has seen all this and more. Like it saw the emergence of some of the greatest religions on earth, like Buddhism, Hinduism Jainism, and Sikhism. Great spiritual minds and great religions created an amazing land that had space for everyone.

The river Ganges traverses Northern India along with its tributaries, most of them coming down from the Himalayas. These rivers from the time immortal have remained lifeline of Northern India. They have been worshiped, loved, and cared by millions of people from the land. Rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmputra, and Indus are just not a stream of water flowing down the Himalayas, but source of an entire civilization. If rivers of source of this great civilization, we can consider Himalayas as its protector.

Most of the Indian pilgrimages are located in the high hills of Himalayas, which are also considered as the abode of gods. Places like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Hemkund Saheb, and Amarnath are all symbols of the affection that Indians showers on Himalayas.
