Beginning and Dedication:

I dedicate my this travelogue story to the great romantic poet Shree Sumitra Nandan Pant whose birthplace has been

at Kausani then in Almora district has

Sumitranandan Pant

deep impression, influences remained over my young mind throughout my life. Once I was the student of matriculation in Bihar Board in 1978 I used to read the poems of Sumitranandan Pant Sukh Dukh that left too much efficacy over me. And I decided to visit Kausani and Almora

indeed once in my life.

I visited Almora twice in my life. Once in 2008 and again in 2015 while I was going to Kausani from Nainital. Both times I passed through the highway having a bird's eye view over Almora at 1600 meters altitude. I remember while passing through Almora my driver was playing a very popular song of a film Aandhi 1974 Ek Mode Se Jaate Hain...

Really I was the passer that time but second time in 2015 I was coming back from Kausani I stayed there for 3 to 4 hours.

Then I with my co travellers , Dr Prashant, Gujrat, Sanjay Biharsharif visited Jageshwar Temple complex Almora just about 20 kilometers away from Almora town. It was through the shadow of deodars and pines I could not forget found myself spelt bound with the unmatched untold beauty of Almora. Passing through the dear park watching the sunsetting landscapes of Almora it was looking like a nice portrait of any perfect artist.

I am lucky enough so that I have a great fellow namely Raj Kishan resident of Almora stands with me and you to explore Almora once again in a very unique way for you all new comers and travellers coming first time in Almora.
