Jaurasi is a mountain range situated between the middle of the Salt and Dwarahat assembly of the Almora district of Uttarakhand. It is situated between the Ramganga and Vinod rivers, which are about 6500 feet above sea level.
The mountain range extends from the confluence of the two rivers, from Kedar to the top of Dudhatoli. The area adjacent to this mountain range is also known as the Jaurasi range, [1] consisting of the mountains Jaurasi, Gairkhet, Ghaniyal Pokhar, Asurgadhi, Daanu Than, Chaubatia, Garhwal Bunga, Jadapani, Durga Devi, Kaliya Linguna, Nagchulakhal and Phulang. Jaurasi is situated on the boundary of three districts of Uttarakhand: Almora, Chamoli and Pauri. On one side are Chaukhutiya, Masi, Ranikhet, on the other side are Deghat, Syaldey, Bhikiyasain, and on the upper side are Gairsain and Nagchulakhaal. The British built many rest houses in the area, of which only Jaurasi Dak Bangla remains, maintained by the state government. All that remains of the Dak Bangla of Kelani are ruins. At the altitude, there is a persistent shortage of water, which has caused significant outward migration. To meet the shortage of water, the government approved the Asurgarhi Pumping Drinking Water Scheme from the Ramganga river, intended to boost tourism in the region.
