Pine forested campsites along the riverbank offer peaceful tent stays, nature walks, and trout fishing.

Mori and its neighboring villages are also culturally unique for their rare wooden temples dedicated to Karna and Duryodhana from the Mahabharata epic. The village works as a major staging base for world famous trekking trails, including Har Ki Dun, Kedarkantha, and Rupin Pass.
