THE PERFUME CITY OF INDIA

 

UTTAR PRADESH--KANNAUJ


Many people know uttarpradesh for its beauty and for the presence of one of the seven wonders of the world but very few people know that there is a city named kannauj in uttarpradesh which is also called as perfume city of India. kannauj is the only place in the entire world where attar(which is also known as ittar) is manufactured naturally. The 80% of industries here are attar manufacturing industries and their skill of manufacturing it is passed through generations. Although attars are mostly used as perfume, they are also used for medicinal purposes. Kannauj still follows the 5000 year old method of extracting perfume and nickel plated copper vessels are used in this process. The flowers are first soaked in water and then heated in containers hence this process of extracting fragrance takes around 5 hours. Six types of perfumes are made in kannauj and the most famous one is mud perfumes which has got the aroma of first rain on dry muddy lands. It’s a quite familiar scent to everyone's senses but rare to find and capture in a bottle. All of these perfumes smell angelic and they are long-lasting since they are free of alcohol and other types of chemicals. Isn't it great that you can make a perfume out of your favorite smell of nature so make sure that you also visit kannauj and buy these excellent perfumes when you are in uttarpradesh.

 KARERI LAKE

Kareri lake is located at an elevation of about 2950 meters in kangra district of himachal pradesh. It is a perfect holiday gateway if you want to switch off from your monotonous routine and get close to nature.

Surrounded by mountains and alpine tress, the kareri lake trek is formed by the flow of the water bodies from the minkiani peak. Kareri lake trek is best for beginners as well as experienced trekkers. The total trek is 13kms. It takes around 8 to 9 hours to complete the entire trek in one go during summers (because in winters the trek gets completely covered by the snow). The trekkers can encounter up to 6 feet of snow at the lake during that season. But if one actually wants to adore the beauty of this isolated trek, it is advisable to take one night halt at rioti, which is also known as midpoint of the trek and then continue the terk on next day, in this way you will have plenty of time to spend at kareri lake. The spectacular view of the place make it worth your while
