mountains. The icy heights of the Himalayas, are the source of some of India's
mighty rivers.

boulder - strewn beds, cutting deep gorges, and breaking into silvery white rapids.
An intricate network of thundering mountain rivers, flowing through an amazing
landscape of thrilling gorges, forests, and remote villages, the Garhwal and Kumaon
hills, in the state of Uttaranchal Pradesh, provide ideal settings for some dramatic
water adventure.
