About this Destination

A quaint old town, Abbott Mount is located in the Kali Kumaon region of Champawat district, Uttarakhand. Here, one can witness the charm of a bygone British colonial era through a marvelous church and 13 isolated cottages across the hill. Established during the early 20th century by a British businessman - John Harold Abbott, Abbott Mount is a place that remains more or less unchanged. Perched at an elevation of 7000 ft. above sea level, it offers ravishing views of snow-clad Himalayas and tranquil surroundings bringing peace as birds chirp through the wispy breeze.The place experiences excellent weather throughout the year, making it ideal for activities like trekking, angling, bird watching and photography. Enriched in flora & fauna and bound by thick forests of pine and deodars, Abbott Mount is a must visit - away from the screeching noises of the city.
