Mukteshwar sits atop a high ridge in a remote corner of the Kumaon Mountains and is surrounded by fruit orchards and thick coniferous forests. Situated at an altitude of 7500 ft above sea level, Mukteshwar is most famous for its wonderful 180 degrees view of the snow-capped Himalayas, best seen in autumn and spring. Untouched by popular tourism, this pretty hill retreat demands more than just a day trip.
