Tour Highlights:
This Nainital Kausani Binsar Ranikhet Mukteshwar Tour experience is about lingering in places that stir your soul. Here are just a few highlights:
- Nainital:
Established in 1841 by a sugar trader and known as “Khasdesh,” Nainital is a mix of ancient mythology and British colonial influence. It is also believed that it is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths, where Goddess Sati’s eyes fall at Naina Devi Temple. This hill station is renowned for its awe-inspiring natural beauty, scenic lakes, surrounding hills, and pleasant weather. Once served as the summer capital of the United Provinces and the Raj Bhavan (Governor’s residence), this town now attracts thousands of tourists yearly. It is popularly known for boating on Naini Lake, taking blessings from Naina Devi in Naina Devi Temple, visiting Snow View Point by cable car, and shopping on Mall Road. The town has a certain old-world charm reflected in the British cottages, churches, and misty lanes.
- Kausani:
Kausani is a picturesque hill station named as the “Switzerland of India” by Mahatma Gandhi when he visited the town in 1929. In ancient times, the region was known as Valna and was part of the Kartikyapur kingdom. Kausani is also the birthplace of the renowned Hindi poet Sumitra Nandan Pant. Located in the Bageshwar district, this town is known for its panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges, lush green landscapes, and cultural heritage. It is all about the view where you wake up with the sight of the sun rising over snow-covered mountains. Explore the surrounding forests, rich biodiversity of Kausani woods, sprawling 200-hectare tea estates, and enjoy biking expeditions to challenging rock faces for climbing and rappelling. Visit the Anasakti Ashram (Gandhi Ashram), the Kausani Tea Estate, Rudradhari Falls and Temple, Starscapes Observatory and the Baijnath Temple for a better glimpse of the town.
- Binsar:
Located at an altitude of 2,420 m, Binsar is a scenic hill station in the Kumaon region. Once the summer capital of the Chand Dynasty during the 11th-17th centuries A.D., it now attracts nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts to explore the unique biodiversity. This town is a sleepy, scenic and cut-off destination that brings you much closer to nature. The main attraction of the region is the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, set up in 1988, which spans an area of 45.49km. This sanctuary houses a wide variety of flora and fauna and is declared as the ‘Important Bird Area by Bird Life International, as it is home to more than 200 bird species. Located within the sanctuary, Zero Point is the highest point that offers views of the Himalayan peaks like Chaukhamba, Panchachuli, Nanda Devi, Nanda Kot, and Kedarnath. The region also has spiritual significance as the Bineshwar Mahadev temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, resides here which attracts thousands of pilgrims every year.
- Ranikhet:
Ranikhet, meaning “Queen’s Meadow” or “Queen’s Field,” traces its origins to the Kumaoni legends of Queen Padmini who was captivated by its serene beauty. Though no palace was ever built, its name has endured through the ages. During British rule, Ranikhet became a strategic military town and later a cantonment in 1869, attracting officers for its salubrious climate. Even today, it houses the Kumaon Regiment Center. Besides its colonial charm, this scenic town also holds spiritual significance due to ancient temples like Jhula Devi Temple, Bhalu Dham, Katarmal Sun Temple, and more. The town attracts tourists and continues to be a calm retreat blending history, devotion amidst lush pine forest, pleasant climate and splendid Himalayan views.
- Mukteshwar:
Mukteshwar, perched at 2,171 m, is a tranquil hill town steeped in spiritual and scientific relevance. Named after the 350-year-old Mukteshwar Dham Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that the deity granted liberation here, thus the name Mukteshwar. According to legends, the Pandavas established this temple during their exile. The town gained prominence during the British era when the Indian Veterinary Research Institute was established in 1893, making it the center for animal health studies. Its serene environment, colonial architecture, and religious importance draw pilgrims and peace seekers alike. The town also offers majestic Himalayan views of peaks like Nanda Devi, Neelkanth, Trishul, and Panchachuli, and is emerging as an eco-tourism destination rich in culture and calm.
