After a pleasant walk from the parking lot along a thoughtfully designed walkway one reaches a magnifcient site overlooking the beautiful valley and Kosi River. The main temple devoted to the Sun God is surrounded by multiple smaller shrines designed in a unique style hundreds of years ago and surprisingly well preserved. Intricate carvings and sculptures and fascinating paintings can keep you admiring the craftmenship in ancient times for hours. The place has a special spirituality! Although there were no other visitors, the UK government had put all COVID-19 basic prevention measures into place. A few more explanation about this temple gem would be nice.

The best place for Meditation. Kasar Devi is one of the only three places on Earth including Machu Picchu in Peru and Stone Henge in England to best the strongest geo-magnetic field which is believed to be the best for meditation. Swami Vivekanada Ji also visited the place and started his spiritual journey from here. If you visit Almora, visit Kasar Devi for sure, it's just 13 Km from Almora. The whole region is covered by Pine forests hence enhancing the beauty of this place.
