Himanshu Joshi/Pithoragarh: There are many ancient and wonder-filled religious places in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, which are still away from the eyes of the outside states and the world. To bring these to the fore, Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board in collaboration with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) has started a special tourist train, which has been named Manaskhand Express.
Manaskhand is the very ancient name of Kumaon.
In ancient Indian texts, the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand is called Manaskhand, which is full of mysteries and cultural heritage. The inaugural journey of Manaskhand Express is starting from Pune on 22nd April, which will reach Tanakpur railway station in Uttarakhand on 24th April. Passengers can board the train from various stations including Lonavala, Panvel, Kalyan, Nashik. After this, the journey to Kumaon region of Uttarakhand begins, which will be completed in 10 nights and 11 days.
These places are included in this journey
This trip to Manaskhand will include visiting beautiful places like Nainital, Bhimtal, Almora, Chaukori, Purnagiri Temple, Haat Kalika Temple, Katarmal, Kainchi Dham, Chitai Golu Devta, Jageshwar, Sharda Ghat, Patal Bhuvaneshwar, Mayawati Ashram, Nanakmatta.
Two places of Pithoragarh are also included
Giving information, Pithoragarh District Officer Reena Joshi said that two important religious places of the district, Patal Bhuvaneshwar and Haat Kalika, have been included in this trip to Manaskhand.
There is immense potential for religious tourism
Talking about Kumaon region, there is immense potential for religious tourism along with natural beauty. Due to lack of publicity till now, there are many such amazing places about which very few people know. With this effort of the government, people from other states will get involved in religious tourism for the first time. From this it can be hoped that Kumaon region will also be able to develop in the field of tourism.
