Kanda is a small historic town and tehsil in Bageshwar district, in the state of Uttarakhand, India.

[1] Upon the disintegration of the Katyuris in 13th century, Kanda came under the rule of Mankoti kings of Gangoli.

Its surrounding landscape is characterized by mountains, terraced fields, and organic tea platforms.

[4] However, this landscape is under threat, as the quarrying of soft stone is reported to have caused damage to the local ecology.

Roadway buses connect Kanda to Delhi, while Kumaon Motor Owners Union (KMOU) transport connects to other major cities in the state of Uttarakhand, such as Almora, Haldwani, Pithoragarh, Bankot, and Didihat.
