Jageshwar FRH is 35 km from Almora on the Almora-Pithoragarh (bifurcation at Artola) road. It was built in 1955-56 at an altitude of 1693m, amidst deodar and thuner forests. Close-by is the cluster of 124 ornamented Jageshwar temples and statues built by the Chand rulers in a serene narrow valley surrounded by magnificent and the oldest deodar grove of Kumaon.
