A comparatively less traveled part of the hill state of Uttarakhand, Mori is situated along the banks of the Tons river, in the Jaunsar Bawar region. The place has now some camps which allow us a glimpse into the tantalizing world of this yet unexplored Himalayan belt. Mori is ideally a place to sit and relax but then you can choose to do quite the opposite by opting for some action-packed white-water rafting on the Tons River, or a swim in the river itself. |
There is much in store for the kids too – along the sandy beaches of the Tons river are places they’d love to explore – they can take guided nature-walks and where they get to do some bird-watching, and get a unique opportunity to witness, first hand, the diverse flora and fauna of the region. This could go a long way in sensitizing them about ecological issues. |

Mori offers an escape from oppressive heat of the Delhi. White Water Rafting on the Tons (the biggest tributary of the Yamuna with its source in the snowfields of the 20,720ft high mountain, Bandarpunch), a small volume, Class 4 river offers an excellent adrenaline rush and adds to the excitement of being in the outdoors. |
