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

Zero point is located right at the top of Binsar Sanctuary. While staying in Khali Estate, we happen to visit this place. Your car will take you up to the KVM Rest House situated at a scenic location deep inside the Binsar sanctuary. From there you have to trek around 3kms inside the jungle to reach a structure which gives you a clear 180* view of the beautiful snow clad mountains. The walk is adventurous and fun as we happen to travel in first week of December and during day time also climate was cold and comfortable. You get guides at the Rest House who can trek along with you. Carry your own water and food items as you will not find a single person inside the jungle forget about shops or small road side vendors

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.

a 1.5 km trek from the binsar TRH takes you to zero point which is the highest point in binsar and offers astounding views of the himalayan ranges viz. nanda devi, trishul etc. being at such a height this is much colder and you definitely need caps and muffler.

How to Get there: It is located inside the Binsar Wildlife Sactuary. At the entry point of the Sanctuary, you have to get the pass for no of people+driver+vehicle. The charges are 150 INR for Indian adults(600 INR for Foreigners) and separate charge for the Car(250 INR). From the entry gate, one can go 10 Kms uphill on the mountain on which the Zero Point is situated. Altitude wise, it is approx. 1000 meters up from the entry point. The vehicle will go up upto TRH Binsar(KMVN Guest House), where the vehicle can be parked. From there it is again a 3 Kms trek uphill, which goes inside the jungle.
Zero Point is nothing but a stone structure, from where, we get the best view. It can be noted that, on a clear day, you can get similar view from various places through the trek. The trip can be really tiresome for small children and senior citizen, so better to leave them in the car.
The biggest tip: Wake up in the morning and check the visibility, if its hazy, there is absolutely no point in taking so much time out of your schedule and go up. It is advisable to go there only if its a clear sky out there. We drove to the place in our own vehicle(10 Kms from Club Mahindra+10 Kms Uphill), people who hired cabs paid around 2000-3000 for this trip). We went there in March and missed the snow fall by 2 days. If you plan the trip on the right day, this place can give you the best of the views but on a hazy day, you cant see anything, even from the top.
If your time and budget permits, you can plan to visit Kausani, which is approximately 60 Kms from here, but provides much better view of Himalayas, without any trekking.

Our young kids loved the treck up to this view point. It's an awesome place to visit. Just the calming effect of the surrounding forests is amazing. The views from the top of zero point are spectacular. Just a tip- visit a toilet before you start waking up. There are no facilities here however there is ample bushland that caters for emergencies!

It's a bit of a Trek in the jungle from KMVN resort, and the vast expanse of the valley greets you in the end. There is machan at the spot which you can climb for an excellent view of the snow clad mountains and the valley. On the day we were not so lucky as the sky was overcast. But still the trek in the nature and the piece made it worth the visit.

It's a 3 kms trek to the Zero Point . Located at the top of Binsar sanctury provides it a very good view. Take water and some food along with you as the trekking is through the woods. Not advisable if you are old or have kids with you

Hi! Can i visit zero point,mount katao and yumthang valley on the same day in the month of april?
Written 19 April 2017
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?
Written 29 July 2015
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.
