Kumaon Region holidays

Sleepy villages, snow-covered peaks and tranquil lakes along the foothills of the majestic Himalayas all come together to form the breathtakingly beautiful Kumaon region. Offering some mesmerizing views, this off-the-beaten-track region of India has plenty to explore, and fits the bill for travellers wanting to swap the city noise for the open air. Journey to the sleepy villages of Deora and Jwalabanj for a slice of authentic India, and catch sight of Nanda Devi, the Kumaon region's highest peak soaring 25,643 ft into the sky. Enjoy nature at its best as scenic trails take you through the village of Chirala, past ancient temples and through pine forests, leading into the Shivalaya Valley, before ending at a natural rock pool for a well-deserved dip. The Kumaon region is home to some of the most spectacular panoramas and views in all of Asia. If you want to experience some of these jaw-dropping vistas, the Ramganga River walk is the perfect way to do so. Enjoy nothing but the sound of nature as you walk the slopes of the lower Himalayas, cross bridges over the melted snow of Nanda Devi, and pass through dense forests. Read more
