It is the tallest mountain range , whose spiny
ridges spread out halfway across the world's largest continent . The formidable range
with at least 80 peaks above 20,000 feet , the snow covered silverly summits
spread out beyond the horizone , gigantic glaciers , high plateaus , the
magnificient roaring dark gorges, are an awe inspiring spectacle that transcends
description.
| But this great adobe of snow is more than ice,snow and rock.Since antiquity it has been
home of a great diversity of people,who have developed many magnificent cultures.With passage of time
all these become one with the great wonderland ,that is India.like many other,the culture of Garhwal and Kumaon have their rich and definite contribution to
the ocean of great Indian culture.
The traditions folk art of the region was preserved in its original form,
since Kumaon and Garhwal were inaccessible in the past , due to the high mountain
ranges and rugged tropography .
