I am putting this information once again.

Bageshwar: The holy township of Bageshwar lies at the confluence of the rivers Saryu, Gomti and latent Bhagirathi. Bageshwar is associated with Lord Sadashiva, the redeemer of all sins and hence revered as the 'pious land'. With the east and west flanked by the Bhileswar and Nileshwar mountains and surrounded by Suraj Kund in the north and Agni Kund in the south, this land of Lord Shankar is of great religious, historic and political significance. The temple of Bagnath situated here is venerated by one and all. Devotees gather here on every Monday of the holy month of Shravan to worship the Lord, who is also known as the remover of sorrows. The temple is also the center of the the fairs of Uttarayani and Shivratri attended by people from far and near.

Pandukholi (Ahead of Dwarhaat)

Pandukholi: Situated at a distance of 27 kilometres from Dwarahat, are the caves of Pandukholi. This cave is believed to have been one of the shelters of the Pandavs, the sons of Pandu during the 1-year 'Agyatavas' after their 14-year exile as mentioned in the Mahabharata. The name Pandukholi is also derived from the legend, 'Pandu' meaning the sons of Pandu that is Pandav and 'kholi' meaning shelter. This place is a 5 kilometre trek from Kukuchina which can be reached by a motorable road.

Manila Devi Mata.

Manila: Situated at a distance of 87 kilometres from Ranikhet, standing at an altitude of 1,820 metre is Manila, home to the famous temple of Manila Devi, the family goddess of the Katyuri kings. The word 'manila' translated literally, would mean ‘enchanting’. The place with its breathtaking view of the Himalayas and Oak and rhododendron forests that spread from Sadar to dotiyal also leaves a similar impact on its visitors.
