Tevaliyakhal is a small village situated at an altitude of 2000 m. Although it is located only about 60 km from Thalisain, it requires from there a 3-hours drive due to the poor road conditions. The nearest temple is Binsar Mandir, which is 3 hours walk from the village. Local farmers here grow potatoes and rice.

Omkarananda Doon Public School is situated on a hill slope overlooking a beautiful valley of terrace fields. It is housed in a simple two-storey building.

The School has been founded in 2000 and runs classes from Nursery to V. Children come on foot from as far as 7 km away, which is about 1½ hours of walking one way. Other than the core curriculum, they also learn various local songs and dances.
