Kanda Tehsil

Kanda Tehsil is an administrative subdivision in Bageshwar that spans a mountainous region with around 180 villages. The terrain features hills and valleys, with scattered settlements and agricultural land distributed across the landscape.

The tehsil was established as an administrative unit to organize local governance in the Bageshwar region. Since its founding, it has maintained its traditional administrative structure and continues to serve as a central point for local administration.

Residents here celebrate regional festivals and maintain traditional farming methods, while Hindi and local dialects are spoken in daily life.

The area connects to neighboring regions through a network of mountain roads, with public transportation services that vary by season. In winter months, some roads may become difficult to navigate due to snowfall.

Several villages within the tehsil are completely abandoned and documented as ghost settlements, standing as evidence of migration in recent decades. These empty places tell the story of economic shifts and people seeking better opportunities elsewhere.
