Nandprayag

Nandprayag is a small village in the upper Garhwal region of Uttarakhand at the confluence of two rivers – the Alaknanda and the Nandakini, which emanate from high mountain glaciers in the Upper Himalayas. It has a long tradition of trade with Tibet in the past. Our founders dedicate this venture to the hardy, simple and honest people and their forefathers of NandPrayag – to stay true and connected to the roots. Photo courtesy: Wikipedia
