This is a place which attracts visitors automatically. Everywhere nature has blessed Kausani with immense beauty. From Kausani one can see an arc of peaks almost 300 kms in length. This adds to the grace of Kausani. Dense forests, enchanting greenery, full bloomed and colourful flowers, some great cloud formations all accompanied by a simple living style capture the mind of a tourist.

Kausani is also called the Switzerland of India. It is located in the lap of high mountains. This place is like a gem in Himalayas. On one side of Kausani flows river Kosi and other side is flanked by thunderous Gomti and in the middle is Pingnath Peak where Kausani is located.

Kausani is located at a height of 1890 meters. Influenced by the natural beauty and peaceful environment, Gandhi ji spend 12 days here in 1929. Here is he wrote "Anashakti Yoga". About this place Gandhiji is wrote in one of the papers '... I think astonishingly that leave aside the mountains and the peace here, nothing can match Kausani in the world. The health benefit which we derive from this place is not available to any of European nation...'. The place where Gandhiji stayed and wrote 'Anashakti Yoga' is called the Anashakti Ashram. This place has now been converted into study and research center. Here tourist come and stay. Right in middle of Ashram is a very courtyard. This Ashram is maintained by Uttar Pradesh Gandhi Smarak Trust.
