KAUSANI
Kausani’s claim to fame rests greatly on the fact that Gandhiji spent some time here in 1929, soon after his release from prison. He stayed at the Anasakti Ashram, where he explored Anasakti Yoga and was fulsome in his praise for the magnificent views from this idyllic hill station. A memorial in Gandhiji’s honour stands at the Ashram, set up by his disciple Sarlaben. Some good treks lead into the Himalayas from Kausani, such as the Adi Kailash trek and the Bageshwar Sunderdhanga trek. The area is quite a camper’s paradise. In spite of its spectacular beauty, Kausani remains an unspoilt town where you can retreat for a quiet sojourn at any time of the year.
Activity
A 300km wide view of the Himalayas is visible from Kausani, a breathtakingly beautiful hill station in the Kumaon Hills. The eye sweeps past dense forests and glowing hills lit up by the setting sun. The panorama unfolds over the snow-covered peaks of Nanda Devi and Trishul, their impenetrable beauty overshadowing the lesser mountains scattered at their feet. At 7817 metres, Nanda Devi in the Himalayas is the second highest peak in India and has exerted a tremendous impact on the cultures and lives of the Kumaoni and Gharwali peoples. Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti hover close by, symbolic of Shiva’s trident and his wife’s veil.Besides these heart-stopping views, the hill station of Kausani offers blissfully undiluted silence and tranquility. The crisp air is laden with the scent of pines. Tea gardens and pear orchards dot the landscape while the summer months see a profusion of wild flowers in the valleys. The hill station itself is perched on a narrow ridge on Pingnath Peak, overlooking mountain vistas, while the rivers Gomti and Kosi flank the town.
Accomodation Options
Kausani is a mid-budget traveller’s delight - the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam has a tourist guesthouse here. In addition to the Forest Rest House and PWD Bungalow, there are other lodges and motels. Decent accommodation is also available at the Anasakti Ashram
