The Himalayas comprise of several mountain ranges with beautiful valleys between them. The Kullu valley in Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir Valley are prime examples of such natural splendor with quaint hill stations like Simla, Mussourie etc.
Beyond these are bitterly cold, wind swept plains of Tibet and Leh Ladakh. Further down from the foothills of Himalayas are the vast gangetic plains with important rivers like the Ganges and the Yamuna flowing through them.North India is famous for an amazing variety of places of tourist interest.These include the ethereal Taj Mahal in Agra,astonishing temples of Khajuraho, the Hindu pilgrim centres of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Amarnath, Rishikesh, Varanasi, Allahabad, magnificient forts of Rajasthan and so on.
