The 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.

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 .

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!
