Exhausted of all regular destinations for tourism, destination tiredness had set in and I was investigating an escape from scorching heat and moistness of sultry plains of my town. Then I heard to Didihat the rich flora a mountain retreat of Uttarakhand. It offering scenic views of valley surrounded by attractive points. This town is a pilgrimage route to Kailash Mansarovar a place added to char Dham. Some Himalaya peaks including Panchachuli are the key attractions here. This Indian tourist place is also a small business hub for Uttarakhand as few traders have coffee and tea plantation in Didihat.
