Hotel Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand


Just north of the bus stand, but in a quiet location with a panoramic view of the Himalaya from your veranda, this is Kausani’s best-value accommodation. The cheaper rooms are small, with bucket hot water, but upper-floor rooms are spacious and have hot showers and TVs. The manager is helpful and friendly. The restaurant here is the best in town.
