Kausani in Uttaranchal is
known as the " Switzerland of India". Standing

father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi had contemplated on the beauty of
Kausani.
Several snow- capped peaks stand in a stately row, over 300 kms. in
length, shining against the azure sky making the horizon as seen from
Kausani and enviable spectacle. The glory of the snow crowned Himalayan
range reaches its pinnacle when the sunrays turn them into crimson and
gold.

of Trishul, pyramid shaped peak of Nanda Devi, the pole shaped Nanda Kot,
