Lesser Known EcoFriendly Destinations in the Uttarakhand Belt

Uttarakhand enjoys pristine beauty, green meadows and bubbling springs all accompanied to the merry sound of chirping birds of varied species. One just needs to know where to head to to receive this manna from heaven:
1) Munsyari is situated about 145 km from Pithoragarh at 2300 m. above sea level. Since Munsyari is base camp for high altitude trek routes inside Himalayas, you can find people from all nationalities visiting and camping here. There are glaciers to visit close by and majestic views of snow capped mountains surrounds you everywhere you can look. Local villagers provide help to get to camping sites and also homestays.
2) Vinayak is situated only 22 kms from Nainital. But what you get is an altitude of 2300 m, surrounding forests and verdant greens all of which are ideal for nature walks and bird watching. There are tentage sites easily available that are equipeed with water and solar lights and clean facilities for use.
3) Chunakhan is where the Centre For Ecotourism & Sustainable Livelihood is located. The center lets you get hosted by local communities and facilitates information sharing on on natural and cultural heritage. This centre is also known for access to the Chotti Haldwani Heritage Trail in local and tourist circles.
4) Agora is a little harder to get to but well worth it. It is situated 12 km. by road to Sangamchatti and then 6 km. by trek at about 2300 m. above sea level. Once there you can only marvel at snow capped mountain views and the beautiful forests which are hosts to countless rare medicinal plants and herbs. There are eco lodges and camping facilities available with necessary amenities. Boarding and other eco-services are provided by villagers at prescribed rates. There are several trek routes within close proximity. Homestays are also available at the local villages which provide a rustic and interesting option.
