Pithoragarh
It is often referred to as Miniature Kashmir. The town is also known as Sore Valley and was an important landmark of the Chand Rajas of Kumaon. It is situated at an altitude of 1,650 meters above sea level. Three languages are spoken here, namely Hindi, Kumaoni and English. There are frequent buses to Pithoragarh from Almora, Nanital and Delhi. The closest railhead is at Tanakpur and the closest airport is at Pantnagar, which is 249 km from Pithoragarh.
Ranikhet
At the onset of winter, the softly falling snow flakes cover these environs in sheets of pure whiteness. Today it is an important Army town and the head quarters of the Kumaon Regiment. One can enjoy a walk, hold a picnic or go for an exciting trek. Ranikhet has one of the best mountain golf courses (9 holes) in the country surrounded by a dense oak forest. The Jhoola Devi Temple, Chaubatia are places worth-seeing. Kathgodam is the nearest railway station and Pantnagar is the nearest airport, 119 km away.
Kausani
The Kumaon Hills region offers the magic of the deep pine forests and the majestic mountains. Kausani is the birthplace of the famed Hindi poet Sumitra Nandan Pant. The beauty of Kausani is still largely untapped and it is often referred to as the 'Switzerland of India'. In fact, very few hill stations can compete with the scenic beauty of Kausani. Lakshmi Ashram, Pinakeshwar, Baijnath, Someshwar, Sundardoonga and Kafni Glaciers are a few places to visit here. Kausani is well connected to other hill stations of the state.
The Valley of Flowers is one of the natural wonders of the world which has recently been declared as a world heritage site. The carpet of flowers, 10 km in length and 12 km in width, is spellbinding. During the rains, the entire Valley is transformed into a natural garden with an innumerable variety of alpine flowers.
