Uttarakhand's Cartix Wami Temple is a sacred sanctuary with countless religious sites and exciting expeditions. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva challenged his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya one day by saying that the first person to complete the seventh round of the universe would be rewarded. Upon hearing this, Kartikeya set out to go around the universe with his technique. Ukhimath is located at 1317 meters above sea level in the Rudraprarayag district of Uttarakhand. During the winter, when the Kedarnath Temple remains closed, the ritual takes place at the Omkareshwa Temple in Ukimato. Surrounded by the quiet adventures of the Himalayas, Ukimato is a paradise for nature lovers. Sally Village is a quiet settlement about 20 km from Chopta, full of oak and rhododendron trees. This location, also known as Saari Gaon, serves as a base camp for local expeditions, including Deorial Tal Trek. Sally hosts a handful of homestays and offers a glimpse into the pristine beauty surrounding Uttarakhand. Chopta is a scenic place known as "Mini-Switzerland in Uttarakhand". Chopta wakes up in a healthy breeze with the chirping of birds, adding freshness to the morning landscape. Chopta is really refreshing and the bright red sunshine kisses the snow-capped mountains.
