Chandrabadani devi:
The sacred shrine on chandrabadani mountain is 10kms. from kandi khal and about 22kms. from Devaprayag. Legends suggest that the rorso of Goddess sati, the consort of Lord Shiva fell here. There are some old statues and lots of iron trishuls (tridents) outside the temple. A fine view of the sirkanda, Kedarnath and Badrinath peaks can be enjoyed from here.
The district was carved out of Nainital district in October 1995 and was named after shri Udham Singh, a great freedom fighter, who killed General Dyer and took revenge for the jalinawala Bagh messacre. The district also called as the Gateway to kumaon hills. There are three amin sub-divisions rudrapur, kashipur and khatima; four tehslis kashipur, kichha, Khatima, Sitarganj and two sub tehsils Bajpur and garadpur.
