It is prettily dotted with villages, generally placed on eminences. The view from some of the higher altitudes in Pithoragarh captures the snow-capped peaks of Panch Chulhi, Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot.<ref name=gazetteer>[http://pithoragarh.nic.in/Gazetteer/gazetter19.pdf A document from official website of Pithoragarh]</ref>

Pithoragarh, is known as the gateway to the Himalaya’s from the north, as pilgrims trek through this town to the [[Kailash]] [[Lake Manasarovar]] and [[Om Parvat]].

== History ==
[[Файл:AesculusIndica.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Himalyan view from Pithoragarh]]
In 1841 Pilgrim (Barron), while passing through Pithoragarh, wrote :
«… The first view of Pithoragarh is striking, in one instant, when you reach the top of the pass (Chandak) which overlooks it, a wide valley bursts on the view, with the small neat military cantonment, fort and scattecyan villages, and meandering streams, which distribute fertility to thousands of well cultivated fields…. I was apprehensive, too, that the beauties of Nainital had exhausted the store, and found that I was never in my life more mistaken.»

After its conquest by the Rajwar of [[Uku, Nepal|Uku]] Bhartpal in the year 1364, Pithoragarh was for the whole of the remaining 14th century ruled by three generations of Pals. The kingdom extended from Pithoragarh to [[Askot]]. According to a tamrapatra (brass plate inscription) dating back to 1420, the Pal dynasty was uprooted by the Vijay Brahm of Brahma (Bum) dynasty of Nepal but subsequently, following the death of Gyan Chand in a conflict with Kshetra Pal, the supremacy of Pal dynasty was restored.

It is believed that Bhartichand, an ancestor of Gyan Chand, had replaced Pals, the ruler of Pithoragarh, after defeating them in 1445. In the 16th century, the [[Chand dynasty]] again took control over Pithoragarh town and built a new fort, in the year 1790, on the hill where the present Girls Inter College is situated. Subsequently, under the British rule, Pithoragarh remained a [[Tehsil]] under [[Almora district]] until it was elevated to a district in the year 1962.

While the above narration cannot be authenticated, the fact is that «the district is named after its headquarters town, Pithoragarh. Tradition has it that during the reign of the Chand Rajas of [[Kumaon division|Kumaon]], one Piru, also called Prithvi Gosain, built a fort here and named it Prithvigarh which in, in course of time, got changed into Pithoragarh.»<ref name=gazetteer/>

== Places of interest ==
Once the bastion of the Chand rulers, Pithoragarh town is littered with temples and forts belonging to that era.

The town had two forts one of which has been demolished, its place being taken by the Government Girls’ Intermediate College building. The building of the other fort houses the treasury and the tahsil.

Other places of interest in Pithoragarh are Patal Bhuvaneshwar (Gangolihat), Chandak, [[Dewalthal]], [[Dharchula]], [[Munsiyari]] and Kali Mandir of [[Gangolihat]]. Kumaon University College is the main educational institution in the district for higher studies.

About 5&nbsp;km. from the place there is a small and beautiful place named Chandag which houses an asylum for lepers. It is said that a goddess killed two devils, Chand and Mund, at this place. The episode gave the place the name Chandghat, Chandag appearing to be its corruption.<ref name=gazetteer01>[http://pithoragarh.nic.in/Gazetteer/gazetter01.pdf Gazetteer page from official website of Pithoragarh]</ref>
