About the place

The feeling of Baijnath

Baijnath stands in the Katyur Valley beside the Gomti River, where a cluster of old stone temples carries memories of the Katyuri kingdom. The riverside setting, sculpted shrines and slow rhythm of the valley make it meaningful for travellers drawn to history, architecture, faith and quieter Kumaon landscapes.
