The idea of such fairs is to organise a gathering of different tribes from various cultures under one roof so that the concept of national integration and brotherhood may be propagated.

Pithoragarh - a hidden paradise Going to the mountains is going home. - John Muir Summer vacation is the most pleasing time and are long awaited by all of us. After a year of continuous work at school, my vacations finally commenced. It's probably the happiest and most awaited period in every student and teacher's life. To improve some boredom of our daily life in the plains we once again planned to spend our vacations in our native place "Pithoragarh" - a place I die to visit every year. A trip to such place is the best way to spend my vacation. Image Source : Deepak Chand On both sides of the road, we could see the lofty green hills, floating clouds, humming bees, delicious fresh fruits hanging, chirping of birds, soothing smell of trees and cool breeze all around. Even a large number of waterfalls were seen on our way. ...
