History About mukteshwar
Mukteshwar sits atop a high ridge in a remote corner of the Kumaon Mountains
and is surrounded by fruit orchards and thick coniferous forests. Situated at
an altitude of 7,500 ft above sea level, Mukteshwar is most famous for its wonderful
180 degrees view of the snow-capped Himalayas, best seen in autumn and spring.
Untouched by popular tourism, this pretty hill retreat demands more than just
a day trip. The choice of accommodation is growing here, and you can spend a
few days in this secluded place, admiring the views and going for long walks
and treks in the forests.
