Tourism and Culture minister Satpal Maharaj said that Uttarakhand has been attracting tourists with its natural beauty for long and is now also emerging as an ideal wedding destination. The minister said this at a wedding conclave organised jointly by Uttarakhand Tourism and Maangal.com in Dehradun. Along with various tourism activities to attract tourists, the State government is also making efforts consistently to develop the State as an ideal wedding destination, he said.
Maharaj said, “Apart from being Devbhumi, the natural beauty, climate, culture and hospitality, among other factors, make Uttarakhand a special destination for weddings. There are world-class hotels, luxury resorts, homestays and various historical sites where one can have comfortable and luxury facilities for guests. Uttarakhand is the best and safe destination for weddings. On the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and following efforts of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the State government had undertaken unprecedented efforts to make Uttarakhand an ideal wedding destination. We have an ancient location like Triyugi Narayan where the wedding of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati took place. The State also has other wedding destinations like Corbett national park, Nainital, Kausani, Bhimtal, Mussoorie, Dehradun, Rishikesh and Lansdowne,” the minister said.
