About the tour
Almora, is indeed a ‘heaven on earth’.This trip to Almora is specially curated for the lovers of nature and the ones who believe in mysticism. This beautiful place of Uttarakhand offers a blend of meditative experience and the thrilling rush of adrenaline simultaneously. ‘Devbhoomi’ Uttarakhand, is mostly about temples and its mesmerizing landscapes and this one is surely going to leave you awestruck and contented.
The hill station Almora is located at a height of 5400ft, surrounded by the beautiful pine and oak trees and blessed by the presence of temples like the Chitai Golu Devta Mandir, Jageshwar Dham, Kasar Devi Mandir and the likes. The Kasar Devi Temple is one of the only three places on Earth other than Macchu Pichu in Peru and the famous Stonehenge in England to have the strongest geomagnetic field believed to be perfect for meditation. On this trip we would be witnessing the spellbinding beauty of Binsar, an offbeat destination, visit the Binsar bird sanctuary and the zero point that serves a treat to the eyes and soul. This trip also includes visit to the Anashakti Ashram at Kausani wherein in 1929 Mahatma Gandhi, the father of Nation stayed for fourteen days and wrote his book, Anashakti Yoga. The spread of green valleys, majestic mountains, the meditative air and the serenity all around is just the perfect escape from the cacophony of the cities we dwell in.
So what’s the wait for?
Let’s unwind and build memories together in this soul-soothing haven of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand.
