Mountain Views

Surrounded by lush vegetation of coniferous and deciduous forests, Mukteshwar is perched high up on the Kumaon Hills at an altitude of 7500 ft. above sea level. With less than 300 families residing in this obscure hill station, there is hardly any traffic, even in the market area. Layers of snow on the terraced farm fields look like decorated white sheets on the mountain slopes.The magnificent Nanda Devi range and the Panchahuli group of snow covered peaks present themselves at full glory. A dream destination for photographers, the small town also witnesses glorious twilights with crimson and maroon streaks spattered across the evening sky. Nanda Devi, Nanda Khat, Nanda Kot, Hathi Parvat, Nandaghunti, Trishul, Rajrambha, and Panchachuli are just some of the major peaks visible from Mukteshwar.
