Majkhali

Majkhali is a scenic hamlet situated along the Almora highway, roughly 12 kilometers from Ranikhet. Perched at an altitude of 1,780 meters, this quiet mountain village is celebrated across Uttarakhand for offering some of the closest and clearest views of Mount Trishul (7,120 meters).

Surrounded by extensive pine, oak, and rhododendron forests, Majkhali offers a peaceful rural alternative to busier tourist centers. The village features traditional Kumaoni terraced farms, apple orchards, and welcoming mountain homesteads.

Goddess Kali Shrine, Nature Walks, and Birdwatching

At the center of the village sits an ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Kali, visited by local villagers and passing travelers for morning blessings. Forest paths leading from the village into oak woodlands provide rewarding opportunities for birdwatching and landscape photography.

Majkhali also houses the Government Agriculture Farm and natural seed nursery where modern organic farming techniques are demonstrated. The cool mountain air, panoramic snow views, and peaceful village paths make it ideal for creative writing and yoga retreats.

Positioned on the scenic drive connecting Ranikhet to Almora, Majkhali is a serene nature haven during your journey across Uttarakhand.
