Bageshwar district

Bageshwar district is an administrative region in the Kumaon division spanning mountainous landscape where the Pindar and Saryu rivers shape the terrain through their valleys. Four administrative tehsils comprise this territory, connected by National Highway 309A linking its main towns and settlements.

This region was once part of the Danpur territory under Katyuri rule during the 7th century. It gained separate administrative status in 1997 when it became an independent district.

The region holds deep religious meaning for its communities, particularly at the river confluence where people gather for prayers and celebrations rooted in Hindu traditions that shape everyday life here.

The region is well connected through established road networks that allow movement across its hilly terrain and between neighboring districts. Travelers should prepare for changing weather conditions typical of mountainous areas and expect varying road conditions depending on the season.

The region has an unusual gender composition with more females than males, which sets it apart from most other areas across the country. This demographic characteristic reflects specific migration patterns and population structures found in local communities here.
