 Uttar Pradesh lies on the foothills of Himalaya. High above
the world where the mountains seem to touch the sky are the
secret sources of India's sacred rivers. Here at a height of over
3000 metres the snow melts to form the Ganga and Yamuna rivers in
a deep recess of the mountains. This hallowed ground is the
destination of countless pilgrims every year. The holiest shrines
of Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Deoprayag and holy
cities of Rishikesh, Haridwar and Varanasi(Kashi or Banaras) all
are in this fascinating state of unequal match.
