Garhwal hills.
Garhwal Himalayas became the centre for a rising ecological awareness of how reckless deforestation had denuded much of the forest cover, resulting in the devastating Alaknanda River floods of July 1970, when a major landslide blocked the river and affected an area starting from Hanuman chatti, near Badrinath to 350 km downstream till Haridwar.
