Places To Visit In Uttarakhand

[ShitalGhai]

My family and I would like to go to Uttarakhand for a holiday, and I would like some recommendations on which places to visit in Uttarakhand.

None of us has been to Uttarakhand so we are keen on visiting any place, especially the popular tourist places.

Posting it again. I also like to visit Uttarakhand. Please select a seven day tour of the state. An idea of the current condition of the roads is also requested.
