Almora |
Almora,
a picturesque district
in the Kumaun region,
East of Uttaranchal
in India, with a breathtaking
panoramic view of Himalayas,
summons tourists worldwide
to its alluring grandeur
of natural beauty.
Famous
for its rich cultural
heritage, unique handicrafts,
sumptuous cuisine and
magnificent wildlife,
coupled with an easy
accessibility, Almora
promises its tourists
a visit full of fun
and unforgettable moments.
Almora
is also called a town
of temples. Situated
in the centre of the
town is the temple of
Goddess Nanda Devi.
Unlike Shimla, Ranikhet
and Nainital which were
developed by the English,
Almora is a hill station
totally developed by
the Indians.
Almora has many fruit
orchards like apples,
peaches, apricots, plums,
etc |

Climate - Almora |
April
to June and September
to November are the
best seasons to visit
Almora. In fact except
the rainy seasons, Almora
can be visited any time
of the year. During
summers the temperature
of this place is comparatively
more than any other
hill stations. Even
then evening and morning
temperatures are low
enough to wear light
warm cloths. The fun
of walking among hills
in warm sunlight can
not be described in
words. During winters
festival of Dussehra
has its own added attraction. |
Place
to see Almora |
Chitai Temple |
This
is a very busy area.
This temple is dedicated
to Lord Golu. The people
of Kumau worship him.
Once a wish is fulfilled
people hang little bells
in this temple. Therefore
there are thousands
of little bells hanging
there. The view of the
Himalayas is extremely
beautiful from here.
This temple is 8 kms
away by walk through
a beautiful pine forest,
but one can go by cart
too. |
| |
Bright End Corner |
Almora
is 2 kms away from here.
A highlight of this
point is the sunset
and the sunrise seen
through the Himalayan
peaks. A circuit house
close by allows tourists
to spend some time in
this peaceful surrounding.
Close by is the Vivekananda
Library which has many
books on literature.
A little away is the
Vivekananda Memorial
where Swami Vivekananda
had stopped for a while
on his journey to the
Himalayas. |
Nanda Devi Temple |
| This 1000-year old temple
is one of the main attraction
of Almora. Its walls have
carvings on them. Every
year a festival is held
here in which youth from
various mountainous areas
come here to participate
in this dance festival.
|
Kasar Devi |
Near
Kalimutt is the temple
of Kasar Devi. This
ancient temple was built
on a mountain peak in
the second century.
The distance between
Kalimatt and Kasar Devi
is less than 1 km and
can be easily covered
by foot. The surrounding
area has become the
home of many foreigners.
The main town is 6 km
away |
Katarmal |
After
the Sun temple at Konark,
Orissa, Katarmal has
the second important
sun temple in the country.
This temple is almost
800 years old. But this
temple has not received
the amount of attention
it must have received.
Due to neglect, the
sun temple at Katarmal
is in very bad shape.
One feels very sad that
a monument of such historical
importance has been
left to decay like this.
This temple has some
unique architectural
style and the images
carved on the walls
are very intricately
done. All this is bound
to attract attention
of the visitor. This
place is 17 kms from
Almora. |
Koshi |
Natural beauty of this
place surpasses any other
place. Koshi is 12 kms
from Almora. The Govind
Vallabh Pant Environment
Research Institute is
located here. There is
guest house which provides
good and comfortable stay
at Koshi.

Quotes |
"In
these hills, nature's
hospitality eclipses
all men can ever do.
The enchanting beauties
of the Himalayas, their
bracing climate and
the soothing green that
envelopes you leaves
nothing more to be desired.
I wonder whether the
scenery of these hills
and the climate are
to be surpassed, if
equalled, by any of
the beauty spots of
the world. After having
been nearly three weeks
in Almora Hills, I am
more than ever amazed
why our people need
go in Europe in search
of health." - Mahatama
M.K. Gandhi |
"These
mountains are associated
with the best memories
of our race: Here, therefore,
must be one of centers,
not merely of activity,
but more of calmness
of meditation, and of
peace and I hope some
one to realize it."
- Swami Vivekananda
(replying to the address
given to him by the
people of Almora |
