Bhairav or Bhairon is widely known as The Protector or The Gate-man of Garhwal. As the history says it, Bhairav Garh is one of the 52 garhs of Garhwal and originally it was known as Langoor Garh. 

Langoor Garh was a powerful fort till 1791. The Gorkha army struggled for two years to seize the fort and even after 28 days of fight they were defeated and went back. 

One of the Gorkha named Thapa realised the significance of the Bhairav in Langoor Garh and donated a 40 kilo Tamra-patra there.

Nearby, Lord Hanuman is worshipped in Hanuman Garhi, situated at the distance of 2 km . One month festival from 15 july to 15 august is organised by locals there.

There is also a branch of Uttarakhand Gramin Bank here.

The view of the hills from this place is just awesome. On both the sides you will see green hills and hundreds of villages which look like white spots on the hills in the day time. Gumkhal is normally cool place. It may become hotter in the day time of summer but in the nights it is still very chilly. You may not find proper accomodation to spend night here. The help of localities can be seeked. But yes you can plenty of options for accommodation in Lansdowne or Jehrikhal which is not very far from Gumkhal.

A common fruit sold here is "Kaful or kafal". A red coloured tiny fruit that tastes sweet and sour but very yummy particularly with balack salt.
