Kausani standing 1890 meters high above the sea level is nature's own reserve. The father of nation Mahatama Gandhi contemplated on the beauty of this region and called it "Switzerland of India." Several snow capped peaks such as Bunder Poonch, Chaukamba, Neel Kant, Badrinath, Kedarnath, triple peaks of Trishul, pyramid shaped peak of Nanda Devi, the pole shaped Nanda Kot, five peaks of Panchachuli and many more are visible from this heavenly land.

The glory of the snow crowned Himalayan range reaches its pinnacle when the sun-rays turn them into crimson and gold. Mahatama Gandhi who spent 12 days in 1929 at Kausani, penned his commentary on Anashakti Yoga inspired by the scenic beauty of this richly gifted spot and found it more bewitching than Switzerland and even wrote poetic prose about Kausani in his publication "Young India".
