Himalaya From Kausani
Window to the snow-clad Trishul, Nanda Devi, Nadakot and Panchachuli, there are very few places in the Himalayas that can be compared to the Beauty of Kausani – a picturesque hill station famous for its scenic splendor and its spectacular 300 km’s wide panoramic view of the Himalayas.
With a total area of 5.2 sq. kms, situated at a height of 1890 mtrs above sea lavel, 51 kms north of Almora, Kausani is the birth place of famous hindi poet Sumitra Nandan Pant , who wrote some of his memorable poems in praise of this paradise on earth. In 1929, Mahatma Gandhi stayed here for 14 days at the Anashakti Ashram, while scripting his book titled ‘Anashakti Yoga’ and was greatly impressed by its environs.

Beautiful Kausani
Mahatama Gandhi ji ne apane vicharo ko pratyaksha roop se prakat kiya hain unaka
manana spasht roop se sahi hain kyoki Ksausani ki tulana switzerland se karke
unhuone koi galat nahi kiya KAUSANI hain hi itana sundar hamari soch chahe
bhale na badle parntu hamara najriya jaroor badlana chahiye.

aap se hamara nibedan hai ki pahad ki san bani rahe or ham pahadi ham bhal bhal riwadi pahad ki thandi hawa thanda pani kaha miligi ham log 2000 se 3000 km door jaki serves karti hai apni pabitra mati ko chod kar jana pdta hi mata ji papa ko chodna padta hi koe nhi chahta hi ki ham es pbitra bhumi ko chod kar door dhup dust mai ja ki kam kari lekin kari to kari kya yaha pai kam hi nahi hi to esliya jana padta hi,
i also belong from bageshwar but now i am doing job in delhi & my home in haldwani…we cant forget our culture & our native place..now our mostly kumaoni are living in haldwani because in village they have a no option for better study & jobs….but we cant forget our pahad…so frnd i request to u dont forget ur culture & native place…
I hv spent my childhood in my village “KOTIRA” taragtaal, Chaukhutia, dist. almora. I studied up to 10th in Govt.Inter college GANAI Chaukhutia and then I came to Ahmedabad (Gujarat) and completed my graduation here. Now I am settled over here but I never forget my native & my pahadi culture for a moment. I never can forget the childhood days which will never come back. I go to my native once in 2-3 years with my family.I like my pahad and I realy miss it. People are very lucky who live in pahad (villages) still or who go fereuently to villages. Bachpan ke wo din aaj bhi bahut yaad aate hai. Majboori hai ki hum har saal pahad nahi jaa sakte hai.I always watch pahadi albums / films when ever I hv time to remember mera pahad.
When ever Gujarati people say that they have visited uttrakhand and say that what a beautiful place is Kausani, then I feel proud to be a part of uttrakhandi
I feel proud for uttranchal.
thnx
Dev bhumi uttrakhand beautiful badiyo me basa 1k really dev bhumi he. Aaaj hum uttrakhad ko chod kar bhut door to ja chuke he kai kosiso ke bad bee ab hum return ne ja sakti insaan ke family problem, social problem or other problem ne insaan ko other city, other state, other country me ya rahne ke liyee majboor kar diya he. Aaj sab ke pass car, kothi, good job, money sab he , but uttrakhand ke natural air, clean water, bhaichara ne he. Hum log kahi bee rahe but hame apne uttraknahd ke cultural ko ne bhulna chaiyee, apne logo ke prati pyar hona chaiyee apne logo ke help karni chaiyee or insaan ke soch badi hone chahiyee. mere apna experience he natural beauty wise jitan beautiful uttrakhand ke kuch jagah he utan india to raha word me bee ne he, me manta hu ko other city me bade bade mall hoge, airport hoge, or other ready made chige hogi but uttrakhand me real natural chige he. Aaj other city me dekho jitne income expenses usse jyada, doctor ka expenses, hamare uttrakahdna he aaise be insaan he jo whole life me doctor ke pass ne gayee hoga. really uttrakhand is dev bhumi.
