Kausani: Destination Par Excellence

KausaniThickly forested and separated from the soaring Nanda Devi Ranges by low mountains, Kausani is a tiny hill station in the Bageshwar district of Uttarakhand. Kausani Tourism is known for tantalising view of the Himalayan Peaks like Panchachuli, Nanda Devi and Trishul. The place boasts of being the birthplace of famous Hindi poet, Sumitra Nandan Pant. The towering coniferous trees, chirping of birds, bubbling creeks and silent valleys add value to a trip to Kausani.

Previously known as Vaina, Kausani does not have much history of its own. Presumably the place where Kausani is situated, there was a thriving kingdom called Kartikyapur. The ruins of the period can still be seen here. Mahatma Gandhi stayed here for 12 days in 1929. He found this destination an inspirational place and thus wrote his book Anashakti Yoga in Kausani.
