A riverside Kumaon hill town where burans blooms, old legends, forested slopes, and everyday mountain life meet in gentle rhythm.
About the place
Lohaghat sits beside the Lohawati River, surrounded by wooded hills and stories drawn from Kumaon history and mythology. In spring, burans flowers brighten the slopes, while the town works as a calm base for Abbott Mount, Mayawati Ashram and the quieter corners of Champawat.
