Kausani

Gandhi Ashram Kausani is popular for its beautiful views of Himalaya. Both sunset and sunrise are excellent here. The peaks of Kumaun are visible from this town. Mahatma Gandhi who planned to stay here for two days was so much attracted by the beauty of this place that he extended his stay and stayed for 14 days. At the same place Anasakti Ashram is constructed and a photo gallery depicting the life story of Mahatma is displaced here. In front of the Ashram there is a view point where a direction map of different peaks is drawn on a dais. On a clear sky with the help of this directional map you can identify different peaks of Himalaya. There are good resorts at one end of the town.
