and how long would it take to get to gwaldham form kausani?wht can one do at gwaldham

Piyush

Kuasani to Gwaldam would be around 60km.
Kausani-->Baijnath(20km)
Baijnath --> Gwaldam(40km approx)

It would take around 3 hrs. You can stop at Baijnath temples. En route there is temple called Kot KI Mai, that can also be visited.
I have never been to Gwaldam, so no idea about Gwaldam.

just chkd some stuff on the net..kausani to gwaldham is 30km one way...uve mentioed 60?is that the return trip ur talking abt that takes 3 hrs?

Piyush

It should be close to 45km not 60km(Kausani to Gwaldam)..
Kausani --> Baijnath is around 20km
from Baijnath to Gwaldam would be 25kms

for 45kms it would take 2 hrs..

but on the whole are the drives scenic in this region?coz travlling isnt a pain if the drives are beautiful n roads are good.any idea how long it takes from ramgarh to mukteshwar?

Piyush

Yes the route is beautiful.The himalayan ranges are visible from Kausani and on the route to Gwaldam.

Ramgarh(Malla) to Mukteshwar is just 25-30kms.Its one and half hour journey max...

Gents, here are some distances:

Kausani-Baijnath - 16 km
Baijnath-Gwaldam - 22 km
Total 38 km.
Will take about 75 mins by car. Good road and it's a scenic drive. Below Kausani itself there'll be the tea gardens on both sides. 4 km after Baijnath is Dangoli village where you cross the Gomti. Fruit orchards around; shortly therafter you start the climb to Gwaldam with forests on both sides.
People go to Gwaldam for the views. There's a nature park of sorts with a large pond maintained by the Forest Dept. Also a small Buddhist temple. kmalik has written in his report about a short trek above Gwaldam.

Malla Ramgarh to Mukteshwar is 25 km - max 1 hour by car.

apologies, but most of Nainital is a zoo ;(

rishabh6296

Human zoo you mean?

shahronakm

Yes that's true but you will find lesser no. of people at the zoo then at the lake or in the ropeway line.

But if you are visiting Nainital in off season then you find very few tourists, like I experienced in Feb '05.
