Chaukori is imbued with the breathtaking beauty of Pithoragarh district. It offers a magnificent view of the Panchchuli peaks and has few rivals for spectacular Himalayan sunrises and sunsets. Visitors to this lesser-known part of Kumaon can enjoy nature at her pristine best. Forests of pine, oak and rhododendron are interspersed with cornfields and orchards. The climate is conducive to the growth of tea, which is cultivated by some enterprising locals. Chaukori holds the promise of an idyllic vacation, and a close communication with nature.
