Katarmal is located at a distance of 4 kms from Kosi village and around 16 kms from Almora on the Almora-Kosi-Ranikhet road. Located at a height of 2116 meters above sea level, Katarmal is known for a relatively rare Surya (sun) temple, constructed by the Katyuri Kings in the 9th century. It is considered to be the second most important temple dedicated to the Sun in the country after the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha. It is built in such a way that the first ray of the sun falls on the Shiva lingam enshrined in the temple. Earlier one had to trek around one and half kms to reach temple from the road. Now a road has been constructed that takes you right away to the temple which is considered of rare archaeological importance.
