is now a small town wrapped in antiquity.
Apart from several picturesque lakes, there are also many other places of historical
and archaeological interest.

with inscriptions dating back to 1149 A.D.
The
Gokhar Hill, named after Guru Gorakhnath, has dramatic granite rock
formations with caves and waterfalls during monsoons.
