About Mukteshwar Tourism
Mukteshwar sits atop a high ridge in a remote corner of the KumaonMountains and is surrounded by fruit orchards and thick coniferous forests. Situated at an altitude of 7,500 ft above sea level, Mukteshwar is most famous for its wonderful 180 degrees view of the snow-capped Himalayas,
best seen in autumn and spring. Untouched by popular tourism, this
pretty hill retreat demands more than just a day trip. The choice of
accommodation is growing here, and you can spend a few days in this
secluded place, admiring the views and going for long walks and treks
in the forests.A favourite holiday destination of the British, Mukteshwar
has a lot of old colonial bungalows and the famous Veterinary Institute
set up by them. The quiet hamlet is also associated with a legend of
Shiva who granted immortality or mukti to a demon that he killed at this spot.
Sightseeing Highlights:
What makes Mukteshwar
unique is its uninterrupted view of the majestic Himalayan snow peaks
unlike anywhere else in the entire Kumaon region. All the prominent
peaks can be seen here: Neelkantha named after Lord Shiva, Trishul
