New Tehri: A Hilly Destination with Visually Appealing Beauty

New Tehri is the only region in the entire Uttarakhand, which came into existence after an extensive and well-planned project. This town was set up while Tehri was already being under process of being constructed. New Tehri is the headquarters of Tehri Garhwal. This town is perched beautifully at an approximate height of 1550 to 1950 meters above the sea level. Old Tehri is situated at just 24Km from this destination. Here, you can find a massive dam and an artificial lake. An interesting trivia about this region is that it came into being after Old Tehri was submerged.



This town has been constructed at the meeting point of two rivers: Bhagirathi & Bhilangna. Tourists from different parts of India visit this town throughout the year. Tehri Lake, which is a manmade lake, draws plenty of attention from visitors. The atmosphere in this region is mostly pleasant. The minimum temperature during winter season is 4 degree Celsius and in summer season, the temperature goes up to 30 degree Celsius. This is one of the reasons why summer is the best time to visit New Tehri. The hilly town becomes extremely romantic & charming during winter season and visually appealing during summer season. It is a great destination for spending some time with your closed ones.
