Almora is an amazing place to engulf the spectacular snow cape of the central Himalayas. Almora is situated at the top a peak that is half circular on a 5 km long mountain range and is a town in the shape of a horse shoe. The town has its cultural, political and historical importance from time immemorial. At a time it was the capital of Kumao. The descendents from the Kyutar dynasty and the Chand dynasty ruled here in the old times. There are many forts and historical monuments still preserved today.
Kaushik (Koshi) and Shalmali (Suyal) are the two rivers that flow near the town. There are many temples there in Almora and so is called the town of temples. In the centre of the town is the temple of Goddess Nanda Devi. Almora is a hill station totally created by the Indians unlike Shimla and Nainital. Almora has many fruit orchards like apples, peaches, apricots, plums, etc. To get over the personal grief after the demise of his beloved child, the great poet Rabindranath Tagore spent a summer over there. Pundit Nehru also had a session of captivity in the jail of Almora and left behind an account of the bliss of loneliness in his various letters.
