The hills of Kumaon have
all the ingredients for adventure packed with excitement
and thrills — an unexplored valley, towering peaks,
flowing rivers, snow capped mountains, a splendid
combination of flora & fauna and vast tracts of
virgin snow. The region also provides immense
opportunities for adventure sports like skiing and the
thrilling water sports which make Kumaon an ideal venue
for adventure seekers.
The large slopes of Kumaon
covered with seasonal snow become an
ideal place
for skiing in the winter months. One can feel
the adrenaline levels rising as one negotiates the
challenges of the step gradients and traverses
unimaginable distances. Quite truly, the thrill of
skiing remains unparalleled. As the elements are
defeated exhilaration swells up. In skiing, the use of
only the simplest forms of implements adds to the
adventure. With their wide open spaces above the
snowline, Kumaon offer yet another exciting possibility
— sky touring amongst the glaciers.
For the avid
skier, cross country runs of 10-20 kms are now
available, with the added advantage of fresh powder
snow, away from criss-crossing streams of skiers that
overtake the slopes of the European Alps. Because of
their height and spread, Kumaon, like other sectors of
the Himalayas, are in a position to offer the thrills of
exploratory long distance skiing round the year..
The easternmost hill district of Uttranchal
bordering Nepal in the east and Tibet in the north,
Pithoragarh is often called ‘Miniature Kashmir’.
Nestling amidst spectacular Kumaon Himalayas at a height
of 1645 mts is a small valley barely 5 kms. long and 2
kms. wide. The town was an
important landmark of
the Chand Kings of Kumaon. The ancient trade route to
eastern Nepal passed through this area. Pithoragarh and
its environs are known for their abundant natural beauty
and fine temples that are important points of
pilgrimages.
Locaed at an altitude of
2135 mts., Munsyari is situated at a distance of 66 kms.
and from Jauljibi and 127 kms. from Pithoragarh
via Thal. Munsyari is the center as well as the gateway
of the Johar Region. Munsyari is the base for treks to
Milam, Namik and Ralam Glaciers. There is a tourist Rest
House and a small town. Khalia top and Betulidhar are
two high altitude places, ideal for skiing.
