Pauri: Where Natural and Cultural Beauty Abound
Pauri is a municipality in Uttarakhand, India. It is a popular summer destination for its picturesque valleys and deep gorges. In winter, the Dhanaulti Mountain gets covered in snow – another sight to behold in this awe-inspiring town. Aside from its natural wonders, Pauri is also known as a cultural and religious center, as evidenced by the numerous major temples surrounding almost every corner of this town.
Best Time to Visit
Due to the natural beauty that it offers, Pauri accommodations and tourist spots tend to be crowded during the months of March to June and September to October. As much as possible, the monsoon months must be avoided since there are very few things to do indoors.
What to Do & Area Attractions
To see the Himalayas from afar, visitors can hike the Khirsu mountains, which has an elevation of 1,7000 meters. Those who do not want to break a sweat can simply drive to Chaukhamba Viewpoint to have a glimpse of the Himalayas. Tourists who wish to have a taste of the rich cultural heritage of Pauri can go temple hopping on Kandoliya temple, Danda Nagraja temple, and Buda Bharsaar temple. They can also drop by at the Kandoliya Indoor Stadium to check if there is any cultural or sporting event that they can witness there. For accommodation needs, Neemrana's Glasshouse on The Ganges offers classically styled rooms that are perfect for honeymooners. Alternatively, visitors coming with their family can book Riverside Resorts, which provides amenities like children’s playground, outdoor pool, and a balcony overlooking the river.
