Mukhteshwar-Almora-Ranikhet-KausaniQuestion: Last year I was in  Darjeeling and Sikkim during October, there where too many Indian tourists! Also the weather was bit humid.  This year I am coming again to India through Nepal and am thinking of going to Pokhra Almorai & Nanda Devi.  What’s your suggestion?

I went to Pokhra in the 70s. Its Beautiful. I went to Almora/Kausani last in 2006.  Beautiful too.  I Dont know about Nanda Devi, but the biosphere area is one place I want to go to sometime.  It is a very Beautiful place.

If you have’nt been to Almora, I would suggest go to Mukhteshwar/Almora/Ranikhet/Kausani.  The views from Kausani are spectacular too, even if there is no lake.  Jageshwar is also a great place close to Almora.
October should not be too crowded, though it may be chilly.
