Badharangadi

Badharangadi is a historical place 6 km from the beautiful hill station of Gwaldam. Badharangadi lies on a high mountain that is 2,260 m above sea level. The remnants of old forts can be seen here, which suggest that this had been a strategic location in the past.

Roopkund lake, Gwalnaag, and the Buddhist Math are some of the spots worth visiting.

The season at Badharangadi is at its best in the months of May, June, September and October.

Narendra Nagar (Garhwal)

The erstwhile capital of the Tehri Garhwal kings, Narendra Nagar is 15 km north of Rishikesh. This historical town is located in Tehri Garhwal District of Uttaranchal and was a witness to many events in history, which has left its mark on the town. The town was built by King Tehri Narendra Singh and it takes its name after him.

The Royal Palace, closed to the public, is a quite pretty sight here. The resort and spa, called Ananda In The Himalayas, is a major draw. This structure was made in 1905 by Lord Irving. Nothing has changed of that era and the furniture and books all remain the same.  http://www.india9.com/i9show/Narendra-Nagar-23129.htm

Tons Valley

The Tons Valley lies in the region of Garhwal, with a unique culture and history. The social customs here differ from the rest of conservative Garhwal. Polyandry, and to some extent, polygamy, are the normal practice.

The villagers claim that they are the descendants of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Unlike in other parts of Garhwal, Kinnaur and the Kullu Valley, where the Pandavas are revered as the righteous ones, in the Tons Valley people are over-awed by the Kauravas, the wrong doers, and worship them as gods. Netwar, where the temple of Karna is located, is one of the most significant places in Tons Valley. The temple is a rectangular wooden structure with pent roofs lined with slates.

Every year in mid January, the Festival of Ball is held in the temple grounds. The biggest temple of Duryodhana, Duryodhan Temple, is in Jakhol near Sankri.

The people in Tons Valley smoke earthen pipes, bidis or coconut hookahs and spin wool on the spindles. Women wear silver ornaments.

Chauli ka Jali

Chauli ka Jali is situated adjacent to the Mukteshwar Temple, in Mukteshwar, Uttaranchal. It is a natural lattice around the rock. It is believed that barren women who came and touched the lattice were blessed with a baby. There are faint outlines of a sword a shield and a trunk of an elephant which bears testament of a battle fought here between a demon and a goddess.
