Uttarakhand (a paradise on earth) became the 27th state of the Republic of India on November 9, 2000. At the time of formation the state was named Uttaranchal but recently the name has been changed to Uttarakhand.
Uttarakhand is a part of the Western Himalayan ranges starting from the Shivalik foothills to Greater Himalayas. It shares the International borders with China in the north and Nepal to the east. It’s neighbouring states are Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Dehradun is the capital of uttarakhand. Uttarakhand is a region with full of natural beauty, 4 major holy places : Kedarnath , Badrinath, Gangotri & Yamunotri,
Prayags, Wild Life Sanctuaries are major contributor in its economic growth. Now Uttarkhand is centre of attraction in the Indian Tourism. Because of its snow covered peaks and rare wild life species it is a favourite tourist destination for all local and foreign tourists. The best time to visit Uttarakhand is summers.
The name of Utarakhand is also mentioned in epics of Mahabharata as devbhoomi ( place of God) and Its evidence is Dehradun name derived from dronnagri.
Generally we divide Uttarakhand In two regions on the basis of lingual and cultural differences. They are Garhwal and Kumaon
