- z1n2India92 contributionsA long trek to achieve nothingThe view shown in the picture can be seen only if you are absolutely lucky and after a tiring trek of 45 mins on a 2 km hill road. The total time to achieve this would be no less than 3 hours and would include driving on less than safe roads for 10kms one way. Decide whether its worth it or drop it. Definitely, the same or a better view is possible from elsewhere in Almora on a pleasant morning while sipping a cup of bed tea. Take my word for it.Visited May 2022Written 5 June 2022
- 982pradipbNavi Mumbai, India409 contributions180 degree View .It's about 12 kms from the main gate of Binsar National Park. One has to make a pass for the entry by paying Rs 250/- for the car and Rs. 150/- for each visitor . One has to show Aadhar Card too . Beyond the gate it is about 10 kms drive on a narrow road and two kms moderate trek through the jungle . On reaching the top one gets an 180 degree view of the snow peaks . There is one KMVN Rest House close to the top . On the way Binsar Mahadev Temple lies on the right side . The temple is believed to be 800 years old , by the locals .Visited January 2021Written 6 February 2021
- AnkitGurugram (Gurgaon), India39 contributionsGood only when Snow!Its a overhyped place. You will have a 2 kms simple trek to have a view of Snow clad mountains from a height. Thats it! It would be good when snow and can enjoy the view and place. Nothing much to do there! Just another tick in your travel checklist!Visited December 2020Written 29 December 2020

This has to be reached by 2 kilometre hike in the Binsar wildlife sanctuary . Better to as early as possible to get the clear view of the peaks.

This is an average trek and nothing breathtaking at the end of it. Its not a strenous trek and hence one can easily make it but anyone with walking problems should avoid it. If you are staying at the KMVN TRH then you dont even need to make the trek to see the snow clad mountains. The KMVN TRH terrace has the same view. All in all a pretty avoidable place

There are many points on the way where you can view beautiful Himalayas from and near Almora. There are no signages, trek is fun. But no facilities for senior citizens or for toilet over there.

but you must get their early on a clear day. Typically this great view will cloud over, maybe by 1000. So if you walk, take a taxi or whatever be early. The path is wide through forest

Rain gear and a local guide May be required . Simple walkable trail in the moist mossy tall trees . Verdant meadows, hidden pathways , abundant birds, camouflaged mammals add to the pristine beauty. Two KMVN / TRH motel kinda places , though the Khali Estate is evidently the upscale pride of the place to stay.
The Zero point needs maintenance , except ram- shackled dustbins there are no common signages or washrooms which is somewhat unnerving for Senior Citizens while trekking .However this in no way detracts from the beauty of the place .... the view of the sailing clouds in the azure skies wilt the glistening silvery horizon of the Himalyan ranges is breathtaking heavenly.

We visited this place with family. There is a trek through dense forest and walking through forest is amazing feeling.We even spotted wild dear on the way. Also saw many special plants which can cure stones in the kidney. Unfortunately after reaching the destination we couldn't see the Himalaya range due to clouds. But still it was worth going. Be cautious if you are going through your own vehicle, the roads are very scary at some point and if second vehicle comes in front then its a tough task to make way. Also its a wild life sanctuary so the entry fee is quite hefty. Would suggest to give a try to guest house inside sanctuary to stay.

Let us be clear. The zero point under consideration is in Sikkim. There are at least two zero points in Indian Tourism. The one referred is near Yumthang. Been to both ZPs. It is not advisable to visit all three viz.Mount Katao Yumthang and ZP same day. Won't do justice to any. Min 2 days.

I have a full one day and plan to go from Nainital-Almore-Binsar-Zero Point-Binsar wildlife sanctuary and back at the same route. We have 3 person whose ages are 68 to 70 years. Is that advisable to go to Zero Point? Did car or tempo go to Zero Point? What is the distance between Almora to Zero Point?

Binser zero point is about 20 Km from NDT bend of Almora. For the last 3 to 3.5 KM distance, walking is required where no vehicle movement is allowed. The pathway for walking is good. But for senior citizen, it depends upon energy level and walking habit.
