Almora
Almora, the charming hill resort set
on a 6 kms. long horse saddle shaped ridge is famous for its natural beauty,
rich cultural heritage, exquisite handicrafts, delectable cuisine and exotic
wildlife. For years it remained the headquarters of the Chand dynasty, the
Gorkha invaders and the British colonialists. The region was earlier under the
reign of the Katyuri king Baichaldeo, who donated this area to a Gujarati
Brahmin Sri Chand Tiwari. Later on, the Chand dynasty was founded in Baramandal
and Almora was made its capital in 1560, by Kalyan Chand. The beautiful town
affords breathtaking views of the snowy summits of Himalayas and is an excellent
place for a peaceful holiday
