When during summer, the plains of India burn and the great cities turn into burning ovens, one starts thinking of Himalayas, wishing to breathe fresh air, see the unseen and climb the unclimbable, in this search to see the unseen ones attention naturally goes towards Uttarakhand the Abode of Gods. This book unravels the mysteries about the Himalayas and in short, the what and why about the geography, history and culture of the Himalayas. It presents the unknown aspects of Uttarakhand and its glory. As the title suggest, the mythological aspects have been mixed and mingled with the historical, thus forgoing a rapport of the past with the present where pilgrimage has become trekking and mountaineering for those who come to seen the unseen and climb the unclimbable.
