Pauri weather and the Himalayan view
On clear days the snow peaks stretch along the whole northern horizon. The air is clearest from October to February, especially early in the morning and after rain; from April to June haze often softens the view, and in the monsoon the peaks are hidden for days.
Above the town, the pine and deodar forest around the Kandoliya temple is a cool place to walk. Khirsu, about 19 km away, is a quiet oak-forest village with its own wide view of the range. Srinagar (Garhwal), down in the Alaknanda valley, is much warmer — about 30 km away but over 1,200 m lower.
