Presently, Patar Nachuni is a camp site and a part of the route of the Ali and Bedni Bugyal Once the king Jasdhawal of Kanauj came for a tour here with his goddess queen Nandadevi where she gave birth to a baby. The king organized a dance show here and also named this place as Patar Nachauni after that. The name literally means 'dancing girls' in the local language. This is what the queen took as a sacrilege in her domain and killed about 300 people by sending a dangerous hailstorm downhill.
