The hamlet of Abbott Mount is situated at an altitude of about 6500 ft above sea level in the eastern part of the Kumaon Hills near the small town of Lohaghat in Champawat District.
Abbott Mount was founded by and named after Mr John Harold Abbott, a British businessman who wanted to start a hill station for the European community at the turn of the 20th century. Unlike other Indian hill stations, Abbott Mount has changed little since its commencement. The hill station has with thirteen secluded cottages spread over its private hill and a picturesque church set amidst the forest, an old cricket pitch with an unsurpassed view of the mountain.
