==History==
[[File:A protest message against Tehri dam, Garhwal, Uttarakhand.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A protest message against [[Tehri dam]]]]

[[File:Lake created By Tehri Dam on river Bagirathie.jpg|thumb|Lake created By Tehri Dam on river [[Bhagirathi]]]]

The old town of Tehri sat at the confluence of the [[Bhagirathi River|Bhagirathi]] and [[Bhilangna River|Bhilangna]] rivers. Tehri was the capital of the [[princely state]] of [[Tehri Garhwal]] ([[Garhwal Kingdom]]) in [[British India]], which was created in 1815 and had an area of {{convert|4180|sqmi|km2}}, and a population of 268,885 in 1901. It adjoined the district of [[Garhwal District|Garhwal]], and its topographical features were similar. It contained the sources of both the [[Ganges]] and the [[Yamuna]], which are visited by thousands of [[Hindu]] pilgrims.<ref name="Haridwar">{{cite web|url=http://haridwar.nic.in/gangaji.htm|title=The Ganga|work=Official Website of district Haridwar, Uttarakhand|publisher=National Informatics Centre, Haridwar District Unit|access-date=8 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100213083357/http://haridwar.nic.in/gangaji.htm|archive-date=13 February 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Construction of the [[Tehri Dam]] totally submerged the old town of Tehri, and the population was shifted to the town of New Tehri. The town is famous as the site of protests against the dam by [[Sundarlal Bahuguna]] and his followers during the [[Chipko movement]]. At present the old Tehri town does not exist any longer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://frontline.thehindu.com/books/the-dam-debate/article8123541.ece|title = The dam debate}}</ref>

==Tourist places==

The most visited places that are actively maintained are Devi Kunjapuri Temple, [[Chandrabadani Devi]], Shri Adinath Digambar Jain Mandir, Mahasar Taal, Sehstra Taal, and Khatling Glacier. Some areas of Tehri are view-able but neglected by the [[Uttrakhand]] government, including Panwali Kantha, Belhbagi Bugyal, and Khait parvat. Panwali Kantha is one of the most popular treks in Uttarakhand which is listed by Outlook Traveller in their write-up. These places have the potential to attract tourists for trekking and mountaineering.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} The new district headquarters at New Tehri can be looked at as a future tourist spot{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} where views of Tehri Lake can be seen. Dobra Chanti Bridge is one of the major tourist attraction due to the lightening work. It is India's longest motorable single lane suspension bridge with 440 meter long way from Dobra to Chanti. Located in the proximity of Tehri Garhwal, Narendranagar is a tourist attraction where visitors can see the River Ganga and Doon valley.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}
