This remote village is not reachable by car, one has to walk or ride on horse for 5 km from Chenagarh through a picturesque mountain trail surrounded by fields and terraces. There is a Nagnath Temple about 2 km from the village.

Omkarananda Academy, Ghangasu, is located in the middle of the village. The School has been founded in 1996 and runs Nursery to Classes V. Children come to school from as far as 2 km. In addition to the core curriculum, they also have cultural education in Garhwali songs and folk dances. At other times, they train in Cricket, Kho-Kho, Horse-riding, Kabaddi as sports and participate in local competitions.
