Binsar is a hill station located in the dense Binsar Sanctuary. The road from Almora to Binsar is a visual treat as it ascends down first and then at the entrance of the Binsar Sanctuary, again winds up to a height of 2300 metres above sea level; passing all the way through dense jungles of pines and deodars and occasionally less dense but uniformly placed deodars and pines between which sunlight gets in to give the window effect of alternate sunlight and shadows. It is not unusual to see a fox or a rabbit crossing the road in front of your slowly moving vehicle. Monkeys are very common. A deer may also be seen.

On reaching the top (not exactly the top, but a little below), the only structure to be found is the GMVN TRH, which is a simply superb, excellent place to stay. The Construction, the Location, the view, the people, and the food, everything is great. The Himalayas appear very much closer and the peaks of Nanda Devi and Trisul, as well as Nanda Khat and nanda Kot are breathtaking. There is a big terrace in front of the hotel facing the Himalayas from which this uncluttered view of the Himalayan Peaks is seen.

TREK :
1. A small trek to a point on the top of the mountain, called Zero Point, is great and passes through the forests and is about 25 minutes slow walk. From Zero Point, in addition to above peaks, the Peaks of Chaukhamba can also be seen.
2. A Road continuing from the TRH takes one to a Forest Lodge, where a single man stays. The Lodge faces the side opposite the Himalayas, and offers a beautiful view of the Sunset.
