Khirsu


It will be wonderful to explore the pleasant and charming small village of Khirsu, closer to the Pauri, in the district of Garhwal. The snow-laden peaks of Khirsu draw thousands of visitors in the months of winter. But most of the time pilgrims approach to this small town in summers. It is 19 kilo meters from Pauri town. Deodar forests, oak trees and apple orchards make it more beautiful. It is really not as popular in India as others are but gradually it is obtaining the popularity.

With a total area of 5.2 sq. km, situated at a height of 1890 m above sea level, located 51 km north of Almora, Kausani is the birthplace of famous Hindi poet Sumitra Nandan Pant, who wrote some of his memorable poems in praise of this paradise on earth. In 1929, Mahatma Gandhi stayed here for 14 days at the Anasakti Ashram while scripting his book titled 'Anasakti Yoga' and was greatly impressed by its environs.The town is accessible all year round. For those who wish to avoid the cold, the best season is between April to June and again between September to November. Summer months will require light woollen clothing and winter- heavy woollen clothes.



Khirsu is one of those tourist places that provide window to the rich Hindu tradition. From one corner to the other, there are multiple places to see and enjoy. Window to the snow-crested Trishul, Nanda Devi, Nandakot and Panchchuli peaks, there are very few places in the Himalayas whose beauty can be compared to that of Kausani - a picturesque hill station famous for its scenic splendor and its spectacular 300 km-wide panoramic view of the Himalayas.
