2 places found.

1. 

   tungnath

   The highest hindu temple in India, situated at the altitude of about 12000 feet above sea level Tungnath is one of the lesser known trekking destinations in North Indian Himalayas with splendid beauty all around the place.

2. 

   Har Ki Dun

   Eleven years later, I was revisiting Har Ki Dun, which literally translates to Shiva’s valley, and which is tucked away about 12,000 feet above sea level near the border of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. I had changed, India had changed (and how!), and I wondered what had changed in Seema, the last village 7.5 miles before Har Ki Dun, where I had struggled to explain what a telephone is to Irbir Singh, a strapping young village lad we had befriended.
