About Almora
Almora, founded in 1568 by King Kalyan Chand, served as the capital of the Chand dynasty that ruled Kumaon for centuries. Its unique layout, built on a 5 km long ridge, offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the Himalayas. The town is famous for its rich cultural heritage, evident in its distinctive architecture featuring intricately carved wooden doors and slate-roofed houses. Almora is a hub for Kumaoni culture, celebrated through its folk music, dance (like the Chholiya), and vibrant festivals such as Nanda Devi Mela and Uttarayani. The main districts include the bustling Almora Bazaar, the historic Mall Road (a pedestrian-only zone), and the quieter, more spiritual precincts around Kasar Devi. It's renowned for its exquisite copperware, traditional woollen shawls (pashmina and angora), and as a gateway to the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. The town's intellectual and spiritual legacy is profound, having been a center for the Chipko environmental movement and a retreat for philosophers and artists.
Best Time to Visit Almora
The best time to visit Almora is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. Spring brings mild, pleasant weather with clear skies, blooming rhododendrons, and comfortable temperatures ideal for sightseeing and trekking. Autumn offers crisp air, post-monsoon greenery, and spectacular Himalayan vistas, making it perfect for photography and outdoor activities. Summer (June to August) is the monsoon season, characterized by heavy rainfall, landslides, and leeches on trails, though the landscape is lush and hotel rates are lower. Winter (December to February) is cold, with temperatures often dropping below freezing, and occasional snowfall. This season is ideal for those seeking solitude and cozy retreats, but some attractions and roads may be inaccessible. Major events include the Nanda Devi Mela (September), a vibrant religious fair, and Uttarayani (January), a festival marking the sun's northward journey.
