New Tehri town emerged when the old township of Tehri was covered by water from the Tehri Dam, and there was an urgent need to rehabilitate the affected people. It is a planned township located in the Tehri Garhwal District of Uttarakhand. Its strategic location on the mountains has played an important role in its popularity among tourists, who enjoy the panoramic views that it offers.
Importance of Tehri also lies in the fact that it is a central point from where one can embark on excursions to the nearby tourist locations. Treks are also conducted in the this region, which gives adventure lovers the chance to enjoy marvellous views of Garhwal Mountains and have a glimpse of the life in the villages nestled along the mountain slopes. Among the many treks that are conducted from Tehri, the Sem Mukhem trek is greatly popular among locals as well as tourists, owing to the Nag Raja temple located in this area. This temple has a lot of importance in the lives of the locals.
Trekkers have to reach Khamba Khal, from where, the actual trek begins. One can take some rest in the middle of these treks at Sem Mukhem, and experience Himalayan hospitality in this beautiful village. A stay in Tehri can be enjoyed in any of the popular hotels or resorts located in this region, which have all the modern facilities in them.
