Category: Almora, Uttarakhand

Almora is the cultural capital of the Kumaon Himalayas — an ancient hilltop town of winding bazaars, sacred temples, and some of the finest Himalayan panoramas in India. Set at 5,400 feet above sea level in Uttarakhand, it has drawn artists, writers, spiritual seekers, and wanderers for centuries, drawn by the quality of its light, the richness of its culture, and the extraordinary accessibility of the high peaks above. From the sacred temple clusters of Jageshwar to the famous hilltop shrine of Kasar Devi, Almora is a destination that rewards those who come slowly and stay long.
