History & Origin
Known for its rich magnesite deposits and the ancient temple of Mostamanu, Chandak has transitioned from an industrial mining zone to the district's premier eco-tourism hub.
Above the Clouds
Chandak is located about 7 km from the main town. It is the primary spot for locals and tourists to experience the "Soar Valley Breeze."
Top Activities:
- Paragliding: One of the few spots in Kumaon offering tandem flights with a view of 6,000m+ peaks.
- Mostamanu Fair: Every year, a massive fair is held here, showcasing the traditional 'Jaagar' and local folk commerce.
- Magnesite Factory Ruins: An eerie, industrial-chic spot for photography lovers.
Travel Logistics:
Accessible by a well-paved winding road. Plenty of shared taxis (Boleros) run from 'Siltham' to Chandak throughout the day.
