Sitabani Forest Rest House Uttarakhand

Sitabani Forest Rest House, 

Uttarakhand

The historical FRH (Forest Rest House) of Sitabani was built in 1940 and is located 27 km from Ramnagar on the Powalgarh road at an elevation of 515m perched on a hilltop. One can also take the forest road from Bhandarpani to Sitabani. There is a watch tower in the FRH compound, ideal for bird watchers. The ancient Sitabani Temple, a national monument under the Archeological Survey of India, is close to the FRH which also has a sulphur spring. There are several caves in the forest around the FRH. Since there was no water at the FRH, a hydraulic system of pumping water up stream called the hydrum was installed by Mr. BP Srivastav.
