Kausani Often referred to as the “Switzerland of India,” Kausani is a picturesque hill station that gained fame for its panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks, including Nanda Devi and Trishul. Mahatma Gandhi stayed here in 1929 and was so impressed by its beauty that he called it the “Switzerland of India.” Kausani’s rich history is intertwined with the Indian freedom movement, as Gandhi penned his book Anashakti Yoga during his stay at the Anashakti Ashram. The town’s legacy is rooted in its stunning landscapes and its connection to India’s struggle for independence.
