When you are holidaying in the Kumaon Himalayas. Almost always you would crave for a view of the famous Panch-Chulli peaks. You may sight them beyond Almora, from Binsar, Pithoragarh, Berinag and Chaukhori. But at Munsyari you have the fabulous Panch-Chulli towering all of 22600 feet right in front of you. Ensconced amidst the mountains in  Pithoragarh district of Uttaranchal at a height of 7000 ft. this Himalayan settlement is probably the closest you can get to experiencing the Greater Himalayas from hand shaking proximity. Amidst virgin forests, fabulous snow caped peaks and a mighty glacial river the township of Munsyari is the gateway to the world famous Milam, Ralam and Namik glaciers. Yes, this is one place where nature still presents itself in all its pristine glory, unspoilt by man-made edifices of creature comforts.
