Chaukori

Chaukori is a small hill town roughly 112 km from Pithoragarh. Mild weather and sweeping sight of snowy summits are its draw, and tea estates and orchards cover the countryside around it.

Gangolihat, a sacred town nearby, is known for the Hatkalika fair. It takes place at the Kalika temple on ashtami, the eighth day of Chaitra, when devotees bring drums and banners to honour Goddess Kalika.

If you want to catch the fair, check the date with us, since it follows the Hindu calendar.
