the writing of a book in 1975 entitled "KINGDOM OF GODS ::
UTTARAKHAND". The book was well received, hence this-
book in the series.
I am grateful to the Director Information, U.P., Sri Thakur
Prasad Singh, Sri B.L. Shah, 'Mamajf and Pradeep Kumar
for excellent photographic illustrations.
The inspiration to write this travelogue came from Cosmo
Publications who not only evinced keen interest in the project
but have kindly undertaken to publish it well in time in the best
available format.
