The Geography of Uttarakhand

This video aims to describe the physical geography of the beautiful Himalayan state Uttarakhand in India.
Uttarakhand has some of the highest peaks in India, like Nanda Devi and Kamet, as well as rolling grasslands, deep valleys and gorges, fertile plains and even a cold desert.
This video describes the state in two major ways, using its mountain ranges, and using its rivers and their basins.
It gets complex, but, as always, enjoy!

Oopsie! The height of Kamet is 7756m, instead of 6309m as you might notice at 03:36.
Also, I mistakenly said Kafni Glacier instead of Namik Glacier as the source of Ramganga east river at 13:08.
Note to self: Copy Paste assets with a little more care.

आजकल जहां उत्तराखंड के लोग रील्स बनाने में अपना क़ीमती समय निकालते हैं, वहीं दूसरी तरफ़ उत्तराखंड की इस जानकारी को ढूँढने और लोगों तक पहुँचाने में हर्षित रौतेला ने बहुत ही साहस का प्रदर्शन किया है। इस वीडियो में कुछ जानी पहचानी बातें हैं जो दिल बहुत पास हैं और दिल को छू जाती हैं। जानकारी को साझा करने के लिए धन्यवाद 🙏🏽
