Situated with in the precincts of the town is the magnificent Chaukhamba Viewpoint, which is quite renowned for its mesmerizing sceneries. This vantage point unwinds the magical charm of the intimidating Himalayan peaks. Gawking through the never ending cliffs would definitely provide new energy and vigor to the picnicker.
Another alluring fascination here is the dense oak and rhododendron forest of Dwarikhal, where the tourists can play hide and seek in the glowing sun. The floral carpet of the rhododendrons and the lush greenery of the oaks make a fabulous shade of colours. After your stroll through the meandering paths you can quench your thirst from the pond whose water is so tastier and cooler than any of the city soft drinks.

The ancient temple of Ghandiyal Devi situated nearby adds the quietude of the place.
The flanking apple orchards are the other fascinating point of attraction in Khirsu.

A pristine location, which can be visited all through the year, is sure to impress you with its flamboyant charm. Moderate accommodation facility in the forest bungalow is the major advantage of this vantage point.
