Prehistoric rock shelters above the Suyal River, with finger paintings in red, black and white: people, animals and rows of dancers. A protected archaeological site, right by the road.
How to get there
- RideA round-trip taxi, past the edge of Almora toward Barechina. The site is by the road.
- LookThe paintings are faded: look up close, but don't touch.
Good to know
- The paintings are ancient and fragile: no flash and no touching.
- Goes well with a day in Almora.
- Bring water: there isn't much near the site.
