Champawat district, Administrative district in Kumaon division, India
Located in the eastern Kumaon Himalayas at 1,615 meters elevation, Champawat district extends across valleys and hills with the Champavati stream flowing through its terrain.
The district gained prominence as the capital of the Chand dynasty, establishing its position as a center of regional governance in northern India.
The Baleshwar Temple, constructed in the 12th century, displays stone carvings that represent the architectural techniques of the medieval Kumaon period.
The district connects to major cities through National Highway 9, with regular bus services and shared taxis operating between towns and neighboring regions.
In 1907, the district became notable when hunter Jim Corbett tracked and eliminated the Champawat Tiger, which had caused numerous human casualties.
