Highlight : This is a Winter itinerary to visit the entire Kumaon Area. Best time to visit is Oct-Nov or Feb-March. The entire itinerary is recommended for those who like nature and want to get the best of Himalayan Views.

 

Expert Speak - Himalayan Views are available only during Oct-March and thats why its the best time to visit this area (Even though its very cold during winter and generally considered off season for travel). During Summer, guests may opt for longer stay in Munsiyari / Chaukori instead of Kausani.
