When we see the doli of Maa Nanda Devi moving during a yatra, the villagers say with devotion, “Maa is going, Maa is coming.” For them, the doli is not just wood and cloth – it is the goddess herself. Interestingly, in Tibet and nearby regions like Lahaul-Spiti, there is something very similar. It is called the Lha rten.

The Maa Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra is one of the biggest and most sacred pilgrimages of Uttarakhand. It takes place once in 12 years and covers a long journey from Nauti village in Chamoli to the remote high-altitude lake of Homkund, near Roopkund. On this divine yatra, the doli of Maa Nanda Devi travels through many villages, halts at several sacred places, and joins with other yatras on the way. Among these halts, Nandkesari holds a very special place, both spiritually and culturally.

The Himalayas of Uttarakhand call trekkers from across the world. But the question always comes – what is the best time to trek in Uttarakhand? The answer depends on seasons, weather, type of trek, and your personal interest. Each season here gives a different beauty, from flower valleys to snow peaks.
If you are planning to trek to the Hemkund Sahib, one name you will hear again and again is Lakshman Ganga. This river is not just a water stream flowing through the valley; it is the lifeline of the entire trek. From the sound of rushing water that guides trekkers, to the fertile banks that support the lush greenery, Lakshman Ganga is deeply connected to the journey and the local life.
