  Haridwar lies at the footsteps of Lord Shiva's hills, i.e., Shivaliks, in the Haridwar district of Uttaranchal Pradesh. Here Suryavanshi prince Bhagirath performed penance to salvage his ancestors" souls who perished due to sage Kapila's curse. The penance was answered and the river Ganga trickled forth from Lord Shiva"s locks and its bountiful water revived sixty thousand sons of king Sagara. Continuing with the tradition, devout Hindus stand in Bhagirathi's or Ganga's sacred waters, praying for their departed elders salvation. The "Aarti" or the worship of the Ganga after sunset and floating "Dia" (lamps) is a moving ritual.

  Valley of Flowers was introduced to the world by Frank S. Smith - a mountaineer, explorer and botanist who camped here for several weeks in 1937 and did valuable exploratory work. He authored a book called "The Valley of Flowers" which unveiled the beauty and floral splendours of the valley and thus threw open the doors of this verdant jewel to nature-enthusiasts all over the world.
  
  In 1939, Miss Margarate Legge, a botanist deputed by the botanical gardens of Edinburgh arrived at the valley for further studies. While traversing some rocky slopes to collect flowers, she slipped off and lost her life. Later, her sister erected a memorial on the spot where she was buried by the locals.
