About Pithoragarh
One of the most striking regions in the hills
of Uttaranchal is Pithoragarh, Kumaon’s easternmost district. The district
headquarters, also called Pithoragarh, is wedged in between Nepal and Tibet,
in the tiny Soar Valley of the Lesser Himalayas. The valley is flanked by four
hills - Chandak, Dhwaj, Thal Kedar and Kundar - and is dramatic in its
beauty.
Pithoragarh is in the heart of adventure country.
In ancient times, the town had as many as six passes into Tibet, and it is
still on the sacred Kailash-Mansarovar trail. Treks to the Milam and Namik
Glaciers are kick-started here.
A number of adventure sports are possible in the region and there are private
operators and camps that will organize them for you. Hang gliding,
paragliding, trekking, skiing, canoeing, river rafting and fishing escapades
await the audacious.
For the nature lover and wildlife enthusiast, there are hikes through
Pithoragarh’s thick forests where you can spot snow leopards, musk deer and
peafowl. The rolling meadows surrounding the town are soft with velvet grass
and the scent of wild flowers - lovely for a lazy day in the sun!
Pithoragarh was the medieval bastion of the Chand rulers, who were great
builders of temples. Many of them lie in ruins, but pilgrims still visit the
others and festivals are celebrated here in a big way. Visit the Kapileshwar
temple, an ancient cave-temple dedicated to Shiva; the Kamaksha temple; and
the Kailash Ashram.
The Mostamanu is a famous temple near Chandak, 7 km from
Pithoragarh, from where you can get a spectacular view of the snowy Himalayas
- the peaks of Nanda Devi, Panchuli and Trishul. A 29 km trek uphill from the
Soar valley takes you to Dhwaj and the temples of Shiva and Parvati. Thal
Kedar, 16 km, is another pretty spot with Shiva temples where there is a grand
Shivratri celebration each year.
Getting there: Pithoragarh is 503 km from
Delhi, 330 km from Nainital, 212 km from Kathgodam, and 150 km from Tanakpur.
Buses and taxis are available from Kathgodam and Tanakpur, the two nearest
railheads. Pithoragarh has a small hill airstrip at Naini Saini, 5 km from
town. If you are driving in from Delhi, breaking journey at Kathgodam or
Nainital is convenient. Almora and Bageshwar are the main gas refuelling halts
en route.
Best time: The months of March to June and
mid-September to October are ideal for visiting Pithoragarh, while July to
early September is the rainy season. Light woollens and rain protection is
needed in summer, while heavy woollens are called for in winter.
