Rudrapur is the perfect base to explore the industry and commerce of the Uttarakhand state along with the area's natural beauty. A city that combines old and new, it has developed enormously in recent years. Its modernity blends with 500 years of history, demonstrated in its rustic and charming surroundings, as well as in its famous Atariya temple, built in the 16th century—the same century in which the city was officially established by King Rudra Chand. Discover Rudrapur's surrounding natural areas like the nearby GularBhoj, where migratory birds fly in every year; Jim Corbett National Park, India’s oldest national park from 1936; Lake Paradise, a beautiful artificial lake area; and Nainital, the nearest Himalayan town containing the highest mountain peak of the state, Nanda Devi.
