Uttarakhand Becomes a Hub for Adventure Tourism
According to Tourism Department data, tourists are no longer limited to Mussoorie, Nainital, or Haridwar; they are also reaching remote villages and new tourist destinations. The growing interest of domestic and international tourists in adventure activities like rafting, trekking, bungee jumping, and mountaineering has made Uttarakhand a hub for adventure tourism.
