  • The trip was fabulous. Shimla is an amazing place with lots to see and do. Our tour operator was excellent. All of their suggestions and recommendations were solid. We loved our hotel and the location. All the tours were high-quality and we experienced no difficulties with pickups. Mr. Nitin was extremely pleasant to work with and truly wanted us to have a fabulous time.

  • We cannot recommend this travel company enough! My husband and I had been wanting to go to India for quite some time but had not done so due to lack of time to plan a worthwhile trip. Booking with this company was exactly what we needed--we told them the types of places and sites we wanted to see and they took care of the rest.

  • I got exactly the vacation I wanted for almost no work and probably cheaper than I could have done it myself. I told this travel company what I wanted and they just did the rest. The hotels and tours/activities were great! Couldn't have asked for more. Great service too they were very responsive and helpful!

Uttarakhand gets its first butterfly gallery in Doon

Uttarakhand News


The Uttarakhand forest department has established state's first-ever butterfly gallery at the Nature Education Centre in Jolly Grant, Dehradun. This vibrant gallery features high-resolution images of Uttarakhand's diverse butterfly species, offering visitors a captivating display of their unique beauty.

Serving as an educational and awareness platform, this gallery highlights the ecological importance of butterflies in pollination, food chains, and overall ecosystem health. By educating visitors about their vital roles in the ecosystem, the gallery aims to encourage conservation efforts and raise awareness about their protection.

Uttarakhand is home to around 500 species of butterflies, with the gallery showcasing 105 of them from five different families: Papilionidae, Hesperidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, and Pieridae. Preserved butterfly specimens are also displayed here, allowing visitors to closely observe their intricate wing patterns, colours, and structural diversity.

Sanjiv Chaturvedi, chief conservator of forests (Research wing), under whose aegis the gallery has been established, said, "The gallery also showcases interesting insights into butterfly behaviours, such as mud-puddling, where butterflies congregate on moist soil to extract essential nutrients, crucial for their survival and reproduction. Besides, visitors can also see the butterfly life cycle, illustrating the transformation from egg to caterpillar, pupa, and finally, the enchanting adult butterfly."

"Another striking attraction is the information and map display of Monarch butterfly migration, which vividly illustrates one of the most extraordinary migration events in the world, covering an area of around 4800 km, spanning four generations. Visitors can read beautiful poems on butterflies by poets like Rabindranath Tagore and Robert Frost," he added.

Authorities said that the butterfly gallery aims to showcase Uttarakhand's remarkable butterfly diversity while promoting a deeper appreciation for these ecologically significant species. Some notable species include Common Peacock, a striking swallowtail butterfly with iridescent blue-green hues and also serving as the state butterfly of the state; Indian Oakleaf, a master of camouflage, mimicking a dry oak leaf when its wings are closed; Spangle, a glossy black swallowtail butterfly; Common Rose, a distinctive red-bodied butterfly with elegant black wings; and Indian Red Admiral, a resilient butterfly found in high-altitude regions, recognised by its bold red and black markings.

Another unique feature of this gallery is the display of information about important host plants for various butterfly species. For instance, the Astor tree serves as a host for the Common Castor butterfly, while plants from the Lamiaceae family are vital for the Lemon butterfly.
