Katarmal Temple video, Almora dist.

ananda2193 · Jul 23rd, 2008, 23:18

Katarmal is an 800 year old Sun temple near Almora. Appearantly the only other Sun Temple is in Orissa. It's a pleasant maybe 3 km. walk from Kosi, which is down the hill from Almora. I was there 10 years ago and visited many times. Had the whole place to myself. There are good views from there and better views if you continue up the trail to the top of the hill. In Kosi there is a KMVN hostel with restaurant. There are also restaurants in Kosi. The river Kosi passes by and has good swimming possibilities.

It's a nice off the beaten path place that you won't be disappointed in. Do visit it if your in the Almora area. I will definitely visit again if I get by that way again.

but missed this place altogether.
