Hotel & resort marketing · Kausani, UttarakhandGuests come for the Kausani view. Show them yours.

Kausani sits at about 1,890 metres on a ridge in Bageshwar district. On a clear day it looks across a long line of snow peaks, including Trishul, Nanda Devi and Panchachuli. Gandhi stayed here for about two weeks in 1929 and wrote his commentary on the Gita, Anasakti Yoga. The bungalow is now the Anasakti Ashram. The poet Sumitranandan Pant was born here, and his home is a small museum. It's a place for quiet, views and slow walks.

Most guests come on a Kumaon circuit, often Nainital, Almora, Kausani and then on to Chaukori or Munsiyari. That means one or two nights, arriving tired in the afternoon and leaving after sunrise. Families from Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Kolkata and Gujarat are a big part of the market, along with couples and a smaller number of foreign travellers. Many book through travel agents or booking sites, and then compare stays on Google for the view.

Stays are mostly small hotels along the ridge, cottages and family-run homestays, some with rooms facing the peaks. The Kausani Tea Estate, the Baijnath temples about 16 km away and Rudradhari Falls give guests a reason to stay an extra night. Uttarakhand revised its homestay rules in 2026, keeping the homestay category for permanent residents living in their own homes, which fits many village hosts here.
