About This Tour

This is the Kumaon tour for people who want to get past Nainital. It climbs steadily north — Mukteshwar, Binsar, Chaukori — and reaches Munsiyari at two and a quarter thousand metres, where the five peaks of the Panchachuli stand in a line across the skyline.

Two nights there, then down through Bageshwar and Baijnath to Kausani’s tea gardens, Ranikhet, and Kainchi Dham, the ashram of Neem Karoli Baba. Patal Bhuvaneshwar’s cave temple and the Birthi waterfall are on the way. Nainital’s lakes close the tour.
