Kausani

Auli, Uttarakhand, India
Kausani is a captivating hill station renowned for its 300-kilometer panoramic view of the majestic Himalayan peaks, including Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Panchachuli. Mahatma Gandhi was so mesmerized by its beauty that he referred to it as the "Switzerland of India" during his stay in 1929. The sheer scale and clarity of the mountain views from Kausani are truly unparalleled, especially during sunrise when the peaks are bathed in a golden glow. Beyond its stunning vistas, Kausani is also known for its lush tea gardens. A visit to the Kausani Tea Estate offers an opportunity to learn about tea processing and sample some aromatic varieties. The tranquil environment of the tea gardens, set against the backdrop of the Himalayas, is perfect for leisurely strolls and photography. Kausani also holds significant spiritual and historical importance. The Anasakti Ashram, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed for 14 days and wrote his commentary on the 'Anasakti Yoga', is a place of profound peace and reflection, attracting many visitors. The Laxmi Ashram, founded by Catherine Hillman (Sarla Behn), a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, is dedicated to the welfare of women and the environment. Other attractions include the Sumitranandan Pant Gallery, dedicated to the famous Hindi poet born in Kausani, and the Baijnath Temple Complex, a group of ancient temples located a short drive away. Kausani offers a unique blend of natural grandeur, spiritual solace, and historical significance, making it an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility, inspiration, and a deep connection with the Himalayas.
