Situated at an altitude of around 6500 feet above the sea level, there aren't too many places that can provide you with such a beautiful glimpse of the Himalayan ranges. Unlike other popular tourist destinations in Uttarakhand, Pangot has a quiet and laidback charm - which sets it apart from the likes of Dehradun and Nainital. Set amidst lush greenery of Oak, Rhododendron and Deodar forests, and overlooking the snow-capped peaks of Himalaya, Pangot is an ideal getaway for those who wish to explore tranquility and wilderness. Served by several perennial and seasonal streams, you will be amazed by the sight of crystal clear water gurgling down the rugged terrains. The place is also blessed with a couple of stunning lakes in Saat Tal and Naukuchia Tal. The forest trails of Pangot are massively popular with amateur trekkers from the Northern part of India. With the world-famous Corbett National Park situated just a few kilometers away, this little hamlet off the beaten trails is quite popular with wildlife enthusiasts as well.
