Hill STATION But the Uttarakhand hills are not only about towering majesty in the lower reaches of Garhwal & Kumaon they generously roll down along easily accessible alpine heights 2 welcome visitors. It is easy 2 see why the British fled here from the hot & dusty plains below. Mussourie & Ninital are of course well know beauty spots, redolent with pine & deodars, quaint colonial houses & stained glass churches, waterfalls & jewllike lakes, & all possible infrastructure for a convenient family getaway. But eqully worth exploring are the cobbled streets, wooden architecture & lovely views of Almora, Or Kausani, Gandhiji’s favourite retreat in the hill. Or the utterly untouched, unchanged beauty of Lansdowne, Pauri. Or the spectacular views of the Himalayas from Ranikhet & its beautiful 9- hole golf course. The poetry of sensuous life lives in not just the natural elements of Uttarakhand but also in its folk songs, dances, stories, & rhythms of daily life. They prove that born among such ethereal beauty, surrounded by such sources of the sacred, even human beings strive to live up 2 that which is divine in them.
