Khirsu
|
| The
snow - laden mountains of Khirsu tempt the tourist
in winters, while the panoramic view of Central
Himalayas attracts tourists in summers, when one
can get a clear view of 300 named and unnamed
peaks. Located 19 kms. away from Pauri at an
altitude of 1700 mts. Khirsu is a peaceful spot
of Himalayas and free from pollution. The tranquility of the
adjoining thick Oak and Deodar forests and apple
orchards, is only broken by chirping birds. The
ancient temple of Ghandiyal Devta in the vicinity
is well worth a visit. |
