If you are done with the usual getaway spots like Nainital and Shimla and need a quiet escape to an offbeat location, Kausani is the place just for you. Did you know that this hill station was given the name “Switzerland of India” by the Father of the Nation – Mahatma Gandhi?

A recluse and romantic spot that has the most picturesque snow-clad mountains, valleys and an abundance of forests lined with pine trees.

Kausani is also known as God’s own backyard because it is home to a number of religious fairs. It is the birthplace of the famous poet Sumitranandan Pant, who has written a number of poems that describe the beauty of this heavenly place. The panoramic view of Nanda Devi, Trishul, Panchauli & Kedarnath white peaks from Kausani will soothe your eyes.
