Chiliyanaula—A pristine weekend destination.

Every time we travel in the Himalayas, we look for places which are a bit far from the hustle and bustle of the city, where there are meager accommodation so that not many tourists can flock together and which can quench our thirst of gazing to the Himalayan splendor.

Kumaon has many such hidden places which offer an unparallel beauty of the nature with a mystic charm---one such gem is CHILIYANAULA. Just 4 kms away from Ranikhet in the Almora district of Uttarakhand, this quaint little hamlet is worth of visit. It offers a 180 degree view of the snow clad Himalayan mountain peaks like Trishul, Chaukhamba, Panch chulli, Mrigathuni, Nandadevi etc. The meandering mountainous path amidst dense deodars, pines and oaks straight away leads you to the KMVN tourist bunglow-Himadri which provides a very comfortable stay.Otherwise accommodation is limited here in Chiliyanaula. Just beside the Tourist bunglow there is the famous Hairakhan temple complex which is a seat of learning and meditation to a huge number of foreigners.

Staying here you can enjoy a day’s trip to Ranikhet— chaubatiya gardens, golf course, Jhuladevi temple, military museum, kalika devi temple etc.

So Friends, Chiliyanaula can be your next destination which will undoubtedly rejuvenate your soul as well as your body and mind.

Wish you a happy soulsafar
