Kausani

Located 53 km. to the north of Almora, Kausani, the brithplace of Hindi poet Sumitra Nandan Pant, is a picturesque hill station famous for its scenic splendour and its spectacular view of the Himalayas. Situated at 6075 feet above sea level, atop a narrow ridge, Kausani is thickly forested and separated from the soaring Nanda Devi ranges by low mountains. In 1929, Mahatma Gandhi stayed here at the Anasakti Ashram.
