It is on a 5 km long mountain range with its own historical, cultural, and political importance. Once the capital of Kumaon, King Balo Kalyan Chand set it up in 1563. The descendants from the Kyutar dynasty and the Chand dynasty ruled here in the old times. The forts, other historical monuments, courts, and governmental offices are still present today.

The two rivers, Kaushik (Koshi) and Shalmali (Suyal) flow near the town. The snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are visible from this place.
