Here we go ... Started our journey from IIT Roorkee at 4.30 am on Saturday morning on 15 th march 2008 it was about 9 hrs journey to Uttarkashi, the district headquarters. The town of Uttarkashi is right under big hills. It is low for the region - only 1158 metres - but all around it, there is sharp height-gaining. This lack of altitude also makes Uttarkashi relatively warm, and a decent choice for a base where you can spend nights and explore the region. The road from Roorkee to Uttarkashi touches Haridwar, Rishikesh, Chamba, Tehri to name few of the significant ones. The chage in relative relief becomes clearly perceptable at Rishikesh as the plains suddenly changes to steep terrain and serpentining roads. I was yet to acclamatize having gained 1500 m in less then 10 hrs. got a accomadation at Hotel Satyam jus opposite to GMVN guest house. Since we were tired we had nice veg food in Satyam restaurant and slept.
