Himalayan ECO Lodge, Sursingdhar
With stunning views of the Himalayan peaks (including India's second highest peak, Nanda Devi) and the emerald waters of the Tehri Lake coupled with the cool weather that is present through the year, a perfect base for a holiday does not get any better than this. The close proximity to Haridwar also ensures that getting here is a breeze and once you do get to the lodge the beauty of its surrounding is sure to have you captivated for a long time to come. The lodge is located in pristine surroundings and has a Pine forest all around with distant views of the valleys of Tehri Garhwal.
The day begins early in the morning with a stunning sunrise from behind the peaks. With the colours changing by the minute, this is a sight well worth getting up early for!! The place is ideal for long walks and a nature walk warms one for the breakfast to follow. The restaurant itself has stunning views of the scenery around and one can partake of their breakfast in the outdoors also. For those who prefer to curl up with a book, there are numerous spaces including the balconies, large natural spaces or one can take a short walk into the pine forests to spend a few hours by themselves. You could also set off for a beautiful drive to Kanatal and Dhanaulti where you could explore the thick forests around Kanatal or visit the potato farms and the Eco Park in Dhanaulti. The Eco Park is an initiative of the local Forest Department and the citizens to set up an eco friendly space with great walking trails, sitting spaces, soft adventure activities, etc. in the midst of the lush greenery. One can also cycle or drive down to the majestic Tehri Dam (amongst the largest dams in the world) and spend some time walking around the gigantic lake that was formed by the dam.
On your way back to Delhi, you could also try your hand at the exciting sport of river rafting on the Ganges. There are exciting 1 - 4 hrs sessions of rafting that one could indulge in where you would raft through exciting Class I to III+ rapids. There are sections that are suitable for children also and one can also spend a lot of time swimming in the cool waters of the river. A trip through the towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh is also recommended as there are some beautiful temples, ashrams and bathing ghats that one gets to see coupled with the glorious history that these towns occupy in India's epic culture.
