Almora is a 1,638-metre Kumaon ridge town that has emerged as one of North India\u2019s best-value wellness destinations, anchored by the Kasar Devi ridge (where Vivekananda meditated in 1898 and where the 1960s\u201370s counterculture made its home), the 124-temple Jageshwar Dham complex, the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, and a growing cluster of yoga, Ayurveda and meditation retreats. October to November is the best window<\/strong>: 17\u201325\u00b0C days, clear skies, uninterrupted Himalayan panoramas before the December snow sets in. The 8 places below cover temples, viewpoints, forest reserves and bazaar culture; all are accessible within an hour of Almora town.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
