Kausani Tour Package
Rs./Person
Kausani is a breathtaking hill station nestled in the Bageshwar district of Uttarakhand, perched at an altitude of approximately 1,890 metres above sea level. Surrounded by thick pine and oak forests and offering a jaw-dropping panoramic view of over 300 kilometres of Himalayan peaks — including Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Panchachuli — Kausani has rightfully earned the title of the 'Switzerland of India', a name gifted by none other than Mahatma Gandhi after his stay here in 1929. A Kausani tour package is designed for travellers who seek a calm, restorative mountain escape blended with natural beauty, cultural richness, and spiritual significance. The destination sits along the Kumaon Himalayan belt, making it a prime location for sunrise views over snow-capped peaks, gentle forest walks, and visits to age-old temples and ashrams that echo India's meditative heritage. Whether you are a nature lover, a pilgrim, a photographer, or simply someone searching for peace away from the noise of city life, Kausani offers a deeply fulfilling experience. The region is also known for its organic tea gardens — the Kausani Tea Estate produces some of the finest green and black teas in India — and is home to the Anasakti Ashram, where Mahatma Gandhi penned his famous commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. The local Kumaoni culture, with its folk music, traditional cuisine, and warm hospitality, adds a distinctive human warmth to the mountain grandeur. A well-planned 2 Night 3 Days Kausani tour package ensures you soak in every dimension of this extraordinary hill destination in Uttarakhand. As Himalayan travel experts with years of curating journeys across Uttarakhand, we can say with full confidence that Kausani is one of the most underrated and genuinely transformative destinations in Northern India. Unlike the heavily commercialised hill stations of Mussoorie or Nainital, Kausani retains a quiet dignity — its villages are clean, its air is pure, and its people carry a gentleness shaped by generations of mountain living
