ALMORA
ABOUT THE PLACE
The ridge-top town of Almora, surrounded by verdant hills and snowy Himalayan ranges, is best known for its bracing climate. Bengali stalwarts like Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Uday Sankar had visited this place time and again to find peace and solace in its serene environ. Their memories are scattered all over the city even today. One of them is the Tagore House near Cantonment where Rabindranath Tagore stayed in the year 1937.
Although visited as part of a round trip from Nainital along with Ranikhet and Kausani, Almora alone can be a pleasant distraction from crowded tourist places.
Scenic beauty is what makes Almora so attractive. Views of sunrise and sunset from the Bright End Corner, at one end of the Mall Road, are worth the trek. The sixteenth-century temples dotting the town and its neighbourhood remind of the Chandra dynasty that had their capital in Almora. Those interested in knowing more about local culture of Kumaon can visit the Museum near the bus stand. Other notable attractions are the Ramkrishna Mission, Anandamayee Ashram, All India Cultural Centre, Kali Math, Deer Park etc.
