Dear editor, 

 First of all my hearty congratulations on developing such a wonderful and relevant website. As I was born and brought up in Almora, visiting www.hillore.com was obviously a nostalgic trip down the memory lane. I still have

the fondest memories of  Uttranchal and the longing in my heart ,for places there, will only grow with the time.

  However, let me commend your excellent efforts about showcasing the beauty and magic of Uttranchal to the rest of the world. The only information I could not find was about the places to stay and about  local shopping experiences  e.g. about  local produce and local handicrafts etc. It would be great if you could include some information for the tourists else they would have to depend heavily on lonely planet guides, which are again only the perspectives and points of views of  western tourists, and don't do justice either to the native Uttranchalis or to them. 

   Anyway keep up the good work done. I'm currently pursuing my MBA from Nottingham University Business School, UK after working for several years. Let me know if I could be of any help to you in any capacity.

Good luck and regards

Dear Kanti Ballabh Ji:

Namashkar, I went through you website http://www.hillore.com . It is a great website about Uttranchal. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Himanshu Pande. I am  based out of San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA for last 6 years working in IT industry. My family originally comes from Almora. I was born and brought up in Delhi, where my parents are settled now. We have been very close to the Kumaoni culture from our childhood as our mother follows all Kumaoni traditions. It was my love for Kumaon that prompted me to start a Global Online Community for all persons belonging to the Hills of Kumaon. Our website is called http://www.kumaoni.com and the members interact through Yahoo Group  - Kumaon (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kumaon/). It is nice to know that there are many people who care about the Uttranchal and are contributing to our rich heritage and region

Regards.

Himanshu

Dear Pandey ji,

          Namaskar. I was surfing and ran into your website. It is excellent and we are very proud of you. I recently made contact with one Himanshu Pandey who lives in San Jose, Do you know him? I think I found him on your web site. My spouse, who is also Kumaoni, and I live in Sacramento California. I too am retired and have lived in US for almost 40 years.  We are much interested in India and of course Kumaon. It is nice to communicate with you. We come to India every 5 years or so. Last we were there –last year. We stayed in Delhi only. Next time we come we would like to go to Almora, Jageshwar, Nainital.

 Regards,

Kamal Joshi

Dear Editor,

Nice to see your website. There are many places in Himalayas which are not known to most people. Please focus on those lesser known place. One such place is Mandakini Magpie Birdwatcher Camp in Kakragad in Kedarnath route , one and half kms before Kund ( the place where the road bifurcates , one leading to Ukhimath and another to Gourikund) .Its a beautiful place on the banks of Mandakini rivers a few metres away from the confluence of Mandakini and Akash Kamini Rivers.

The owner of the camp, Mr. Yashpal Singh Negi, is a nice human being with extensive knpwledge of trekk routes of Himalayas and birds of Himalayas. Hope everyone will enjoy the place.

Thanking you,
