1. General Characteristics of the District

The district of Champawat constituted in the year 1997 is situated between 29 degree 5
minutes and 29 degree 30 minutes in northern altitude and 79 degree 59 minutes and 80 degree 3
minutes at the center of eastern longitude. The Ram Ganga River acts as a border between
Champawat and Pithoragarh in north while Jabgura and Pannar rivers in south and west act as a
border between Champawat, Udham Singh Nagar and Almora districts simultaneously. The long
chain of mountain in southwestern region acts as a border between the district Champawat and
Nainital district. It is important from the defence point of view as in the east Kali river acts the
international border between Nepal and India. The geographical coverage of Champawat is about
1613 sq. km. It includes 4 Tehsil ( 1 Sub Tehsil ) and 4 development blocks and 691 revenue villages

The district owes its name to King Arjun Deos daughter Champawati. Earlier this district was
a part of district Almora. In 1972 the Champawat Tahsil of Almora district was transferred to
Pithoragarh. On 15th Sep, 1997 Champawat district was given an independent identity. Since the
time in memorial Champawat district is having its own importance in terms of religious and social
aspects. It is believed that Champawat district is the source and origin of religion and culture of
Uttarakhand. In the ancient time this region was the origin of Naga, Kinnar and Khas Rajas. The
available historical pillars, manuscripts, archeological collection and folk-lore describe the greatness
of the area during the period of Maha Bharata. Barahi Temple of Devidhura, Tarkeshwar Mandir of
Champawat, Vanasur Fort of Vishung, Baleshwar Mandir of Champawat, Sapteshwar Mandir of Sipti
and Ghatotkasha temples are believed to be of the great period of Maha Bharat. The ample evidence
is also available about the Katiyur dynasty, and its prosperity in ancient times. There is a belief that
the king Brahma Deo was having his capital at Suie and his contemporary King Raja Arjun Deo was
having his capital at Daman Kot. The marriage of the daughter of the King Arjun Deo with Sam Deo
opened a door for Chandra dynasty in this region. In around 1790, with the establishment of the
Gorkharaj, the Chandra Vansha came to its end. In 1814, the Britishers forced the Gorkhas to leave
the place. In the history of Indian independence the history of the warriors of this region has been
written in golden letters for their sacrifices.

1.1 Location & Geographical Area

The district of Champawat constituted in the year 1997 is situated between 29 degree 5
minutes and 29 degree 30 minutes in northern altitude and 79 degree 59 minutes and 80 degree 3
minutes at the center of eastern longitude. The Ram Ganga River acts as a border between
Champawat and Pithoragarh in north while Jabgura and Pannar rivers in south and west act as a
border between Champawat, Udham Singh Nagar and Almora districts simultaneously. The long
chain of mountain in southwestern region acts as a border between the district Champawat and
Nainital district. It is important from the defence point of view as in the east Kali river acts the
international border between Nepal and India. The geographical coverage of Champawat is about
1613 sq. km. It includes 4 Tehsil ( 1 Sub Tehsil ) and 4 development blocks and 691 revenue villages

1.2 Topography
Champawat mainly consists of mountain ranges, large valleys, uneven landscapes, breaked
cliffs, rivers and rivulets. The important rivers are Ladhia, Sharda, Lohawati, Panaar. Jagbura and
Ramganga. All these rivers amalgamate with Kali River at Pancheswar. Only the Sharda river which
goes to Terai area flows through. on the basis of geographical distribution it can be divided in three
main parts. First one, the 35 villages of Tanakpur (Purnagiri) Tehsil fall in Terai area and are
important from the view point of plain and agricultural land and a warm area of an average height of
200 to 250 meter, having abundance of water and good soil. Second one is Shivalik which is situated
at a height of 250 to 1200 meter. It represents a sloping and uneven topographical land consisting of
dense forests. Third one is hilly area the average height of 1500 mts (from 1200 to 2200 mts).
The climate of the district is very differential. Terai area is hot whereas the hilly region is
comparatively cold. High mountain ranges are covered with snow. The climatic condition of Terai and
plains are similar, the seasonal rain is very high (about 20 cm. yearly). Summers are too hot and
winters are too cold and foggy in Terai region. The climate of Shivalik is more or less same but the
lower region of Himalayas experience cold climate throughout the year. In summers, Champawat
district is pleasant. The temperature varies from 1 degree Celsius in the year to 35 degree Celsius.
Summer months are May, June and July whereas Dec and Jan are very cold.
