  2. Congratulations!!!!!

    Its really a great feeling to read about the place which is an integral part of your life. Basically I belong to Bisung village of Lohaghat & also have a house in Lohaghat. Whenever I get time or I want to refresh myself from the anxiety or hustle & bustle of so busy life of metro cities like Delhi, I prefer to surf net & often visit the sites or blogs regarding to Lohaghat, Kumaon, Uttrakhand.
    We have a very rich culture & God has blessed us with all his Love, Beauty & Simplicity.I would also request you to add some more information on Banasur ka Quila, Abott Mount & nearby spots of attractions.

    Regards
