The glory of the snow-crowned Himalayan range reaches its pinnacle when the sun rays turn them into crimson gold. Mahatma Gandhi who spent 12 days in 1929 at Kausani penned his memorable commentary on Gita- Ana-Shakti Yoga inspired by the scenic beauty of this richly gifted spot and found it more bewitching than Switzerland and even wrote poetic prose about Kausani in his publication "Young India".
