Walk-in any direction and call i

After spending a few nights in Jangalia Gaon, near Bhimtal and in Kesar Devi, in Almora, I decided to move to Binsar. The original idea was to do camping in Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. But since there were no campsites and neither it is allowed to camp on your own inside the national park I booked a place located right outside of the national park (but in Binsar area) in a village called Kholsir.

Located in Bageshwar District, Khati Village deserves more than just being the starting point of Pindari Glacier trek. It deserves to be a stand-alone tourist destination.
