Experience the Himalayan adventure with belligerent sights

Located on the bank of the Yamuna near Dehradun, Kalsi is known for its rich heritage and dazzling scenes. Historically, it is famous for various rock edicts of the Mauryan Empire. The inscriptions are supposed to be of Ashoka who then converted to Buddhism. With the scripts written on a 10 * 8 square feet quartz stone and retained by the Archaeological department of India, it remains the attracting force for many tourists. Travelling to Kalsi is no less than an adventure as you can explore some of the best gifts of the nature. Activities like fishing and viewing some sparkling scenes along the bank of Yamuna can take you by surprise, as it promises to give you a completely different outlook of the Yamuna at Kalsi.

The roar of the river passing through Kalsi silences every other thing in and around you. From a vibrant river to the green mountains, Kalsi has something for everyone.
