This was a childhood dream. Always wanted to go to Binsar having read about it in many stories. The place was quite for sure...away from the maddening crowds at Corbett. But it turned out to be a big disappointment. Maybe a good place to unwind. But me and my little children were absolutely bored. There is really no wildlife and... More

Do you like a place so lonely that you may not meet people unless you chose to? Do you like mountains that open up in front of you like the peaks are for your pleasure only... boundless, vast, and deeply evocative in their timelessness? Do you love the sound of birds on a clear morning when the mist has hidden... More

A major part of my last year, towards the end of 2010 was spent across the various Hill States of northern India.

One of its own kind of sanctuary. KMVN Guest Lodge is most preferred stay option with no frill facilities and pure veg menu. There is power supply only for 2 hrs in evening to recharge phone, camera etc. Brilliant location to get mesmerized by Himalayan view, one can easily spot snow line in the entire view.

A lot of opportunities for all to capture nature and Himalayan range lead by massive Nanda devi group of peaks,... More

Days are pleasant.... More

The think that I most remember about Binsar is the silence and the quiet you get there, as if its pinching your ear.
