Devi Darshan

An invitation to discover our Nanda Devi

For us Nanda Devi is much more than a peak... These mountains are sacred, a land of fairies. And like Nanda who is the daughter of the Himalaya, we consider ourselves the children of these mountains. We would like you to accompany us on our jungle paths on a special expedition — for a good long look at Nanda Devi. Then Nanda we see when we look out over our valleys and see her, pure and luminous white. Revel in her mellow benevolence and feel her magic, the magic that is our strength and our inspiration. The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is rich in flora and fauna. Experience its unique biodiversity on this special pilgrimage that takes you right up to the boundary of the core zone.
