Chaukhutia

Chaukhutia is a very beautiful town in Almora district of Uttarakhand. It is located at the bank of river Ramganga. This picturesque place derives its name from a Kumaoni word "Chau-khut" which means four feet.

In Chaukhutia's context four feet means four ways. First way is towards Ramnagar, second towards Karanprayag, third towards Ranikhet and Almora and the fourth way is towards Tadagtaal, Kheera. From here the entire region is easily accessible. Chaukhutia's historical past and religious significance can be seen basking in its glory in nearby areas.
