Kumaon is bounded on the north by Tibet, on the east by Nepal, on the south by the state of Uttar Pradesh and on the west by the Garwhal region. At the higher altitudes separated precisely from the tree line- as if by the masterstrokes of an expert artist - it is endowed with sprawling meadows. The worthlessness of unlimited ambitions within the confines of life may well be realized here almost intuitively. In the ancient villages situated at the foot of these meadows, where the invisible tide of time could hardly sweep anything in the centuries that have rolled by the life may still be seen and felt at its pristine best. Tranquil Lakes, Charming Hill Resorts, Pilgrim Centers, breathtaking landscapes, the famous Jim Corbett National Park - Kumaon has it all. |
