Garhwal Region
Garhwal lying in the north -west of Uttaranchal comprises of the 5 districts
of Dehradun, Pauri, Tehri, Uttarkashi and Chamoli.

The
archaeological remains lying scatterd at many places reveal that a rich civilization
flourished here from very early times. The mahabharata gives vivid accounts
of the land and its people.
Emperor Ashoka's domain encompassed a part of the terrain , evidence of which
is "chitrashila" or "chhatrashila", a quartz rock bnearing
his edicts, dicoverd near kalsi.
Hieun tsang, the 7th century chyinese pilgrim traversed a part of the garhwal
and adi shankaracharya, the 8th century hindu saint and reformer, visited
the remotest regions and to him we owe the establishment of some of the most
sacred shrines of garhwal.
