Kausani



Kausani is picture-postcard perfect. So much so that it is often called the 'Switzerland of India'! Set at an altitude of 6075 ft above the sea level, Kausani is set atop a ridge amidst thick coniferous woods, overlooking thembeautiful Someshwar and Gaur valleys on its either side.

While the charms of this pretty Himalayan hill-stations are many, it is much popular amongst tourists and travellers for the stunning views of the lofty snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Kausani definitely offers the best view of theTrishul, a group of three Himalayan peaks but from Kausani you also get a grand view the eastern peak of the Nandadevi and the Panchuli group of mountain peaks.

Kausani is located at a distance of 53 kms from Almora and 110 kms from Nainital.
