Thalisain

Thalisain lies on a gentle slope above the eastern Nayaar River, beneath the Dudhatoli range. The surrounding country belonged to Choprakot, a division of the old Chandpur kingdom of Garhwal. Stone temples stand on the nearby hills, some displaying features of the Katyuri style and dating from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Villages also preserve traditional timber-fronted houses known as tibaari, associated with the period of the Garhwal kings.
