Srinagar




The erstwhile capital of the Garhwal rulers and one of the biggest townships of the Garhwal region, Srinagar is situated in a sprawling valley on the banks of Alaknanda River. It is located at the junction of roads from Kotdwar, Rishikesh, Tehri Garhwal and Badrinath. The town serves as the main halting point for the pilgrims undertaking a yatra to Char Dham. Garhwal University is located here. The city's climate is characterized by hot summers and cold and foggy winters. Raghunath Temple, Buli Temple, Satyanarayan Temple and Kamsmardani Temple are the major shrines in the town. Dhar Devi Temple is a nearby attraction. The nearest rail head is at Rishikesh.
