About Pithoragarh Tourism

The town of Pithoragarh is the gateway to the Himalayan ranges and the passage to the pilgrims who go to Kailash and Lake Mansarovar in the Himalayas. In the district, which goes by the same name, Pithoragarh is perched in the valleys created by the snow capped ranges of the Himalayas. It is a part of the state of Uttarakhand in north India and is located in the Soar valley. The valley has been created by the innermost Shiwalik hill ranges, inner and middle Himalayan ranges and the Tibetan plateau. Pithoragarh is bound in the north by the district of Almora divided by the Sarju River, in the east it is separated from Nepal by the Kali River and forms a major part of the Kumaon region. It is mostly a stopover place having its share of sightseeing places such as forts and temples, which were built during the rule of the Pal dynasty and in the later part by kings of the Chand dynasty. For a brief period in the 15th century, the region was taken over by the Brahm kings but then the Chand kings regained their rule for a long time to come, till the British rule in India. Pithorgarh was under the Chand dynasty in the 16th century era that many forts and temples were built and the area prospered. During the British rule, a number of churches, mission schools and buildings were constructed. The army cantonment that was started to station British troops is still there. The land in the valleys of the Himalayas is house to many local tribes and population, where Kumaoni is the native language. The Bhotiya tribe has a Tibetan-Burmese ancestry while the Van Rawat tribe speaks a local dialect. The region has natural resources in the form of minerals like copper, magnesium, limestone and slate. The growth of the plants and trees in the Pithoragarh area is variable due to the undulating terrain and broadly consists of coniferous forests, sal forests, chir forests and oak forests. The fauna includes Himalayan chamois, sambur, tiger, etc. along with birds and reptiles of varieties that are not found in the plain lands. Read More >>
