Introduction

About 3 kilometers (1.87 miles) from the hub of Almora en route to Sualbari, this point draws people for its sunset and sunrise. Set against the snowline peaks, they offer great experiences. A comfortable walk from town, allocate substantial time to this attraction as there are a few other points of interest around here as well. Located at a stone’s throw is the Vivekananda Library. Book lovers can browse their favorites in a quiet, serene setting here. Further down is the Vivekananda Memorial. Swami Vivekananda famously compared the beauty of the mountains here with the sea at KanyaKumari. Both of which left indelible marks on his conscious.

On your way back, stop by at the circuit house. Rest a while, taking in the ambience before setting out for accommodation back in town.
