| 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. |
