Have you seen/tasted jumbo sized cucumber/खीरा (called ककड़ी in Uttarakhand)? Grown organically in almost every kitchen garden, used to prepare typical pahadi रायता, बड़ियाँ। #365DaysOfUttarakhand

They are back! Vultures flying pretty low on a ridge, bringing hope and much needed bio-diversity. Nature’s scavengers, as they are commonly known, have made a comeback in Ranikhet’s sky after remaining elusive for past couple of yrs #365DaysOfUttarakhand #aviansofUK

Fresh start! These horse chestnut trees on Ranikhet-Almora highway are back to life after having almost lost the battle of life in the summer of 2024 when our hills were ablaze! Thanks to the rains and their lust for life, the trees r smiling again. #365DaysOfUttarakhand

A brilliant start of the day with faint hint of massive Himalayan peaks in the not so distant horizon led to bright sunny afternoon spent under #मेरावालाblue sky. Only a dilliwala(li) can appreciate my emotions 😂

@drsureshpant हम दिल्ली में हरिद्वार कहा करते हैं और पश्चिम उत्तर प्रदेश में हमारे संबंधियों के मुख से हरद्वार उच्चारण ही प्रायः सुना है।

हरद्वार या हरिद्वार हरिद्वार नाम लोकप्रयोग में हरद्वार है। पुराने प्रलेखों, सरकारी दस्तावेजों, कोर्ट-कचहरी के कागज़ात में हरद्वार नाम मिलता है। इन नामों में शैव और वैष्णव दृष्टि का भी अंतर है। हिमालय हर (शिव) की ससुराल है, ज्योतिर्लिंग केदारेश्वर सहित पाँच केदार (रुद्र, तुंग, कल्प, मध्यमहेश्वर, केदारेश्वर) इसी प्रखंड में हैं, इसलिए यह "हरद्वार" है; और नर-नारायण स्वरूप बदरीनाथ तथा त्रियुगीनारायण जैसे वैष्णव धामों का प्रवेश मार्ग होने से "हरिद्वार" भी है।

How many of you knew about the hidden #Fernery of #Ranikhet? 🌿 Surely, not in guidebooks. Thanks to @LyfInTransit I discovered India’s largest open-air fernery, nurtured by the research wing of the #Uttarakhand Forest Department. The sanctuary has over 120 species of ferns.

Spring is in the air and our Fyonlis (pic1), Dandelions (Pic2) are smiling alongside apples, peaches, plums, apricots blossoms. Semals and Kacnars blossoms are not far behind though jacaranda is in waiting mode 😊 All in a day spent in Nature. #365DaysOfUttarakhand

Time to regulate Chardham yatra in Uttarakhand
Anoop Nautiyal@Anoopnautiyal1

Report Launch on Char Dham Yatra 2025: We launched our latest report this morning at the Press Club on the 2025 Cham Dham Yatra of #Uttarakhand. Our single biggest ask is that the govt discontinue the culture & practice of looking at the Yatra from a “record setting & numerical only” approach. Instead of “maximum footfall”, the focus needs to shift to “maximum security”. More in this short video, sharing ! @pushkardhami @satpalmaharaj

Spent a sunny day out today on a farm in Ranikhet with these pahadi women busy plucking chamomile flowers. Our yearly supply of the organic chamomile tea comes from this farm overlooking Himalayan snowbound peaks, produced by these hardworking women. #365DaysOfUttarakhand
