Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal

Stretching from the Himalayas to the Indo-Gangetic Plains, Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal cover a vast area of 294,00 sq km, with a population of almost 175 million. Hindi is the main language. Both states offer a wide variety of landscapes and historic monuments. In UP’s plains are the famous Taj Mahal and other great Islamic monuments, as well as the holy Hindi city of Varanasi and the Buddhist stupas of Sarnath. The mammoth Kumbh Mela takes place every 12 years at Allahabad as well as Haridwar. In November 2000, the hill areas of Uttar Pradesh became the separate state of Uttaranchal. Its numerous attractions include beautiful trekking trails, the picturesque hill stations of Mussoorie and Nainital, river rafting tours and yoga ashrams around Rishikesh, and Corbett National Park, famous for its tigers.
