Kumaon
Kumaon is the eastern half of Uttarakhand, a region of pine forests, orchards and old hill towns with wide views of the Himalaya, from Trishul and Nanda Devi to the Panchachuli peaks. It is quieter than Garhwal and suits slow trips. These guides cover Almora with Jageshwar and Kasar Devi, Mukteshwar, Munsiyari with Khaliya Top, and Kainchi Dham, the ashram of Neem Karoli Baba. For the far east of the region there are detailed guides to the Adi Kailash and Om Parvat tour, including permits and the route. Each guide explains how to reach, where to stay, what to see and when to go, written by the Gokeys team in Haridwar from trips we plan across Kumaon.
