Riding through Uttaranchal: Pithoragarh and Kausani

From the archive record

Amongst these alternative getaways, Pithoragarh stands out because it is the hub of adventure activity in the Kumaon region. It also has a rich historical past evidenced in the grandeur of the forsaken Pithoragarh fort. On the outskirts of this town lies the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam rest house that provides and awe-inspiring view of the majestic Panchchuli peaks. The quaint hill town of Kausani can best be described as a poets muse. Nestled amongst thick pine groves, Kausani has a quiet charm about it and also provides a spectacular view of the Himalayas. It is an ideal place for those looking for an un-hurried and relaxed vacation.
