Tehri Garhwal

The district of Tehri Garhwal extends from the foothills close to Rishikesh to the snow-capped Himalayan peaks of Thalaiya Sagar, Jonli, and the Gangotri group. The district is bordered east and west by Bhilangna, Alaknanda, Ganga, and Yamuna. The rushing Bhagirathi that flows through it appears to split it in half. The districts of Rudraprayag in the east, Uttarkashi in the north, Pauri Garhwal in the south, and Dehradun in the west encircle Tehri Garhwal. Tehri Garhwal, one of Uttarakhand State’s revered highland districts, is located on the southern slopes of the mid-Himalayas. It is said that Lord Brahma meditated on this hallowed land before the universe’s formation. The district’s Muni-ki-Reti and Tapovan are where the ancient Rishis went to make penance. Its difficult access to communications and steep landscape have contributed to the nearly complete preservation of its culture. The district is Tehri Garhwal, a combination of Tehri and Garhwal.
