FAQs on Bageshwar

Can you suggest an itinerary for Bageshwar?

A single or a two day trip for that matter, to Bageshwar, is impossible unless you want to miss out on the trek. The Pandusthal trek is the only worthwhile activity to carry out here, and that itself will cut you back by 3-4 days. You can plan a week long trip if you wish to visit the temples in and around the city, coupled with the trek. Exploring Bageshwar is a very subjective issue, as it is an enticing opportunity if you like being in the secluded lap of nature, or like exploring a city with the looming past of divine interventions.

Put Bageshwar on your list, if temple legends and nature sound appealing to you. Following a three day trek to Pandusthal would be a trip to the Chandika Temple and the Gauri Udiyar. For the next day, head to the lush green lap of Kanda and whip out that camera for some nature photography. Let Kanda sink in for another night, and head out to Vijaypur to capture the Himalayan peak in its glory, all round the year. Round off the trip by buying some traditional non-perishable Kumaoni treats for the sweet tooth and head back home.

How can I commute within Bageshwar?

Cab and taxi services are possibly the only thing available with ease in the city of Bageshwar.
