Binsar is a scenic hamlet in the Kumaon Himalayas; about 33 kms from Almora that gives one a panoramic view of Himalayan ranges with silvery snow-tipped peaks. It is a paradise for those who enjoy solitude and quietness in nature’s bounty. God smiled and blessed Binsar with the best in everything. This is a thought that would embrace you for a lifetime if you have even once strolled through the hills of Binsar. When one seeks to find oneself, one “runs for the hills.” Binsar is a hill station tucked amidst the towering mountain peaks and adorned with the echoing vibrance and a quaint medley of colors. The spotted surroundings, plush with oak and rhododendrons, are a welcoming sight. On sunny days, holy peaks like those of Kedarnath and Badrinath are visible from the camping site. The best and lavishing flora and fauna, the beautiful people and the inspiring landscapes make up the majestic Binsar. It is a magnet for the nature enthusiasts, travellers, adventurers and artists. The place boasts of 300 kms panoramic view of the lofty Himalayas. One might even consider visiting the Bageshwar temple, Kasar Devi temple, Khali Estate and the Binsar Sanctuary Museum.
