Binsar to Kausani by your own vehicle would take less than 3 hrs..Road is in good condition..

I actually want to visit baijnath and kausani on my way to chaukori from binsar. Is this possible in one day?
And incase i go to chaukori via jageshwar how much time will that take? Which route is better scenery wise- kausani.baijnath one or the jageshwar one?
And basically is kausani worth going to if i am already staying in chaukori for 2 days(view wise)?

Yes, Sasanka, your photos are superb. Really wonderful that you got such great views. Absolutely picture perfect.

Btw, those trees are deodar, not devdaru.

Thanks a lot for sharing those stunning pics with us. Which camera did you use ?

Oh, I found out - Canon Powershot S2 IS - right ?

After a long time I could log in and went through the backlogs of my favourite thread. Got updated with recent discussion/review/expert opinion/tour reports etc.
We have been missing DILLIWALA a lot. However Piyush and Delhiwala have been doing a great job.
