Chaukori is a tiny hill station in the Pithoragarh district set among the lofty peaks, of the western Himalayan Range in the Kumaon Division of Uttarakhand, India. To the north is Tibet and to the south is Terai. The Mahakali River, running along its eastern boundary, forms the Indo-Nepal international border.
Chaukori's elevation is 2010 m with a spectacular view of the snowy peaks of peaks of Nanda Devi, and Nanda Kot. It is approximately 10 km from Berinag, another little hill station.
The beauty of Chaukori lies in the fact that it is situated on an almost table top mountain, which makes it quite a windy place and is much closer to the Himalayas.
Not to mention a two storey thin machan built exclusively for the purpose of an uninterrupted view of the Himalayas. The cottages are very well maintained and cosy. There are a number of treks around.
