Information about Almora

For many years, Almora was ruled by the Katyuri king, Baichaldeo. Almora was not established until it remained under his possession. It was only in 1568 that the town of Almora was formed when Baichaldeo donated the larger chunk of the land of Almora to Sri Chand Tiwari, a Gujararti Brahmin Sri Chand Tiwari. Almora remained the capital of the Chand dynasty, and the cultural capital of Kumaon until then. The culture, food and festivals were inspired by the Kumaon style in the lifestyle of the people. History of Almora can be easily discovered in its ancient monuments, temples and museums which have protected the heritage since a long time. One of the famous historical places include Govind Ballabh Pant Museum which displays a huge stack of artefacts, paintings, sculptures and weapons that date back to the 2nd Century AD. There are two famous temples Nanda Devi temple and Kasar Devi temple, dedicated to the mountain goddesses.

Almora Travel Guide

Almora is easily accessible by road, rail and air. Once you reach Almora, take the road route for sightseeing. Head to the famous Nana Devi temple and marvel at the imposing architecture of the temple. After that, visit the Kasar Devi temple which is seated on a hill top and offers stunning views of the Hawabagh Highway. Plan the evening time for exploring the markets and local town of Almora. Enjoy the early morning view by heading to Simtola or Martola, and experience scenery at its best in Almora.

Famous & local food of Almora

Almora offers a platter of delicious dishes that you must try at least once. The local dishes of Almora are also the authentic ones of Uttarakhand. A whole lot of effort goes into making these exclusive dishes. Some of the must-try dishes in Almora include Bal Mithai, famous sweet of Almora made out of diary, Choklate which is a fudge-like sweet dish made up of condensed milk and Singauri which is again a dairy product wrapped around a Malu leaf. Some of the other local dishes to try in Almora are Bhang Ki Khatai, Kappa (a green curry), mixed dal salad, Sisunak Saag, Aloo ke Gutke, Aloo Dal Pakora and Rus.

For those hippie travellers especially, stop by the tiny café run by Baba and Uma. Chef’s specialty here includes the Apple crumble cake and Lemon nana.

Zhrekarek

Mumbai

Zhrekarek's 7 days trip to Almora

Hotels are far away from destination.. like 10 to 12 km. Support from travel agent was not so satisfactory. Best trip enjoyed with family. Cab driver was so helping and cooperative. Maximum point covered.

Neha Patel

New delhi

Neha's 7 days trip to Almora

We had booked our tour with Navicrow holidays. The travel executive Yash was very helpful during overall journey. He was very polite and quick responsive. Because of him we managed to explore uttrakhand better as the driver was not aware with many things. Overall it was nice experiance but had some

small issues. First of all the driver was good with driving but he was not aware with the roads and the locations. Because of that we wasted much time and we had to worry about to reach the locations. Also, Nainital and Jim Corbett hotels were good but Mussorie hotel rooms were too small. The food was good there. Rishikesh hotel was good but location was too crowdy area and also food was ok ok there.

Snp Shetty

Mumbai

Snp's 5 days trip to Almora

The itinerary was planned well. However the hotel stay was not that great. Rishikesh hotel was stinky and not well maintained. The bathroom sink was leaky in Mussoorie. The driver allotted for last day didn’t know the route well and kept asking us to check map for directions which ideally the driver

should be doing. He also took a longer route to delhi which was tiring. Needs improvement in terms of better hotel options.

Amol Mudholkar

Delhi

Amol's 8 days trip to Almora

Very happy with the overall experience. Prashant(The Route Seekers) who planned the holiday was outstanding taking care of everything w/o disturbing us. He was courteous, patient and proactive ensuring smooth journey. Last minute request to arrange surprise B'day event was something I will never for

get. Thanks for great & ever lasting memory. On last minute request, Prashant made all arrangements for a surprise B'day welcome while arriving Dalhousie after tiring journey. The surprise brought happiness which cannot be expressed. This gesture will remian for ever in our hearts.

Vishva Shah

Ahmedabad

Vishva's 6 days trip to Almora

Vimarsh from adventure mania was very helpful and insightful in planning trip.

VIVEK BHARTI

Haridwar

Vivek's 10 days trip to Almora

Everything was good. Just small small issues were there. 1. Even though payment was made in advance but hotel room was given on first come basis, if we reach early then a good room can be taken else you have to manage. 2. In Kedarnath camp, heater facility was not given even when asked for. Lights w

ent off from night and did not came back. 3. In Kedarnath camp, one less sleeping bag was provided. 4. Our car broke on the very first day, making it late foe us to reach hotel. For that day and next day we have to travel in a loader. Everything else was good.

Sounak Bera

Kolkata

Sounak's 6 days trip to Almora

The trip was enjoyable overall. Though we encountered some issues with the car and hotel arrangements, Mr. Sanu Kumar efficiently resolved them and ensured comfortable facilities. However, the travel itinerary could have been better planned to reduce long travel distances. Optimizing the route wou

ld improve the experience. Grateful for the support provided during the trip. The best memory of the trip was the seamless support and prompt assistance provided by Mr. Sanu Kumar during unexpected challenges. His dedication turned potential setbacks into smooth experiences, allowing us to enjoy the journey without major disruptions. That personal touch and care made the trip truly memorable.

Pawankrhcu

Haridwar

Pawankrhcu's 7 days trip to Almora

It was great. Overall experience was too good. The trip advisor from Travel triangle Ms. Umra Khan and the agency adventuremania were too cooperative. The services of the hotels were too good but the only issue was at a location camps were too far from the sightseeing locations and overall city and

it was a new camp only 2 families were staying there from which one was mine. Anyways overall services from hotels were also too good. Will definetely suggest to book a trip from them as the trip was too memorable.

Maulik Gohel

New delhi

Maulik's 5 days trip to Almora

Overall good except few instances. Driver was good but was very specific to visit some of the on the way sites and ignoring any additional sites. Food was average at all hotels except Rishikesh.

Abhishek Dhoot

Nagpur

Abhishek's 4 days trip to Almora

Overall we had a good experience, hotels very very good. Service of the travel agent was decent. From travel triangle the payment process was smooth and quick response. One thing to improve would be cab driver co ordination. WE FELT the driver was not prepared. 7/10
