About the place

The feeling of Kasar Devi

Kasar Devi sits on a ridge above Almora, where an ancient goddess temple overlooks broad Himalayan ranges and the valleys below. The area later became known for spiritual seekers, writers and artists, giving the village a distinctive blend of sacred tradition, forest walks, cafes and reflective mountain life.
