Far from the madding crowd

Traditionally known for its snowfall, Kausani has a lot more to offer

PANORAMIC A view of Sun & Snow Inn at Kausani
Kausani has been an old favourite of those looking for a quiet sojourn in the hills.
Situated in the middle Himalayas near Almora in Uttaranchal, it offers a great mix of sun and snow. From Kausani, you can get a spectacular view of the snow-clad peaks of Nanda Devi, Trishul, Panchchuli, Nandakot and Chaukhamba. Being the birthplace of renowned Hindi poet Sumitra Nandan Pant and the presence of Anashakti Ashram, where Gandhiji lived and wrote Anashakti Yoga, add a ready advantage to those looking for an inspiring hide-out, away from the madding crowd.
But with years, Kausani as a tourist spot has changed. It is now an enchanting mountain retreat which has a lot to offer tourists ranging from sports to sight-seeing, from pilgrim spots to complete relaxation.
No wonder Kausani is frequented by thousands of holidayers every year, making the little hill town a little touristy no doubt.
Sun & Snow Inn
But if that is something you want to avoid, here is a ready option you might want to try. Leisure Hotel's Sun & Snow Inn is one place in Kausani which is surely away from the din and bustle of the crowd.
Located at a picturesque vantage point, you can have a look at the photogenic scenery of the landscape including the snow-capped peaks from the inn.
It has well-furnished rooms with a quaint multi-cuisine restaurant, a relaxing lobby and outdoor facility to bask in the sun. It also offers guided nature walk and bonfire in the evening.
The inn has attractive packages for visitors ranging from Rs.2500 for two persons for a night halt including breakfast to Rs.4999 for two persons for a two-night stay including breakfast and dinner. More information can be gathered from the website of leisure hotels.
Well, after all, the idea is to keep away from the crowd and enjoy Kausani, isn't it?
