A lively Kumaon valley town framed by high ridges, old forts, temple trails, and the distant pull of India's eastern Himalaya.
About the place
Pithoragarh spreads across the Soar Valley, where busy markets and neighbourhoods sit beneath forested ridges and Himalayan viewpoints. The town is the practical heart of the district and a gateway toward Dharchula, Munsiyari, Gangolihat and remote border valleys, while its forts and temples preserve layers of Kumaon history.
