Camping at Kasar Devi – Under the Stars at Dinapani Hilltop

Tucked away near the peaceful hill station of Almora, the Kasar Devi area is known for its serene energy and breathtaking views — and just above it lies a hidden gem for campers: a massive cricket ground at Dinapani, perched on a scenic hilltop plateau.

This open ground is a free camping spot, and since many travelers and campers have used it over time, no special permission is required. The area is vast — easily large enough to accommodate 25 to 30 tents, making it ideal for solo travelers, small groups, or even larger camping gatherings.

The views from here are stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset, with the surrounding hills lighting up in golden hues. However, make sure you carry all your essentials — especially food and water — before heading up, as there's nothing available on the hilltop itself. If you forget something, you’ll have to drive back down to the village.

Pro tip: Avoid putting up too many lights at night. The area tends to attract larger-than-usual bugs and insects once it gets dark, so minimal light and a closed-tent setup are the way to go.

As always, respect the space. Keep your campsite clean, don’t leave any trash behind, and help preserve the beauty of this peaceful Himalayan spot for everyone who comes after you.

If you're seeking calm, clear skies and a touch of mysticism, camping at Dinapani near Kasar Devi offers a unique experience that combines nature, silence, and stargazing in one of Uttarakhand’s most spiritual regions.
