The beauty of Uttarkashi’s natural environment provides a harmonious and supportive setting for the spiritual way of life which persists since ancient times.

There is an abundance of wildlife, the water and air are clean and clear, and the extensively terraced hills are cultivated by local farmers as they have been for centuries.
