About Jaurasi

Jaurasi is a mountain range, situated between the middle of the Salt and Dwarahat assembly of Almora district of Uttarakhand. It is situated between Ramganga and Vinod rivers, which is about 6500 feet high. This mountain range extends from the confluence of Ramganga and Vinod rivers, from Kedar to the top of Dudhatoli. The area adjacent to this mountain range is also known as 'Jaurasi range'. In this mountain range, there is Jaurasi, Gairkhet, Ghaniyal Pokhar, Asurgadhi, Daanu Than, Chaubatia, Garhwal Bunga, Jadapani, Durga Devi, Kaliya Linguna, Nagchulakhal and Phulang Mountain and it is absorbed in the thick forests of the Dudhaatoli. Connecting Its biggest feature is that it is situated on the combined boundary of three districts of Uttarakhand - Almora, Chamoli and Pauri. On one side there is Chaukhutiya, Masi, Ranikhet and on the other side is Deghat, Syaldey, Bhikiyasain and its upper side are Gairsain and Nagchulakhaal. The British made many rest houses for their stay here, from which only Jaurasi Dak Bangla is present and the maintenance is done by the state government. The Dak Bangla of Kelani has just been transformed into ruins, which are still only remains. Being located at the altitude, there is a huge shortage of water, which is also the main reason for the migrat from here. In order to meet this shortage of water, the government has approved the Asurgarhi Pumping Drinking Water Scheme from Ramganga river, which is also likely to boost tourism in the region.
