CHAMOLI TOURISM

Known as the Abode of Gods, Chamoli in Uttarakhand is known for its scenic landscapes, pilgrimage centers and biodiversity hot spots. Earlier known as Kedar-Khand, Chamoli is surrounded by the district of Uttarkashi in northwest, Pithoragarh in southwest, Almora in southeast, Rudraprayag in southwest and Tehri Grahwal in the west.

Several Hindu pilgrimage sites are located in Chamoli including two of the Chota Char Dham temples: Badrinath and Kedarnath. Joshimath, the northern peetha established by Shankaracharya is also part of Chamoli. Three of the five prayags — Karnaprayag, Nandaprayag and Vishnuprayag — are also in Chamoli. Needless to say, millions of pilgrims visit the district each year.
