Kasar Devi, Jageshwar Dham, Chitai Golu Devta
Perched on a horse-saddle shaped ridge in the Kumaon region, Almora boasts a rich cultural heritage, unique handicrafts, and a pre-British historical legacy. Surrounded by thick forests of pine and fir trees, it offers magnificent views of the Himalayas and a deeply rooted spiritual atmosphere that attracted figures like Swami Vivekananda.
Experience the spiritual magnetism of Kasar Devi, a tranquil village known for its unique geomagnetic field, making it an international meditation hub. A short drive away lies Jageshwar Dham, an ancient temple complex set amidst thick Deodar forests, featuring over 100 beautifully carved stone temples dedicated to Lord Shiva dating back between the 7th and 12th centuries.
Witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets at Bright End Corner, where the rays magically illuminate the Himalayan peaks. No trip to Almora is complete without tasting its famous local sweets—Bal Mithai and Singhauri. You can also explore the 200-year-old Lala Bazaar to pick up traditional copperware and Angora woolens.
