Chaubattia is a settlement in Almora district, in the state of Uttarakhand, northern India. It is located roughly 10km (10miles) south of the cantonment town of Ranikhet.[2] Chabattia is 1800m (5,900feet) above sea level, within sight of the western peaks of the Himalayas. Its name, in the Kumaoni language, means a common meeting point of four paths ("chau" meaning four and "bat" meaning path).[2] It is named this way because of its location at the intersection of four places connects in front of Rawat Building: Bhargaon, Ranikhet, Dehrti and Pilkholi.[3]
Chaubattia is best known as the location of a botanical garden and fruit orchard which are popular with tourists to the region.[4] The gardens contain predominantly apple, peach, plum and apricot trees.[3] It is also home to a government operated fruit and vegetable research centre,[5] which owns and runs the fruit orchard.
