A look around

What's here

The first thing you notice is the view. From the balcony of your room, the Himalayas stretch out in a long, unbroken line. The air is clean. Below, a manicured lawn slopes down the hillside, dotted with tables and a small play area for children. The home is built to host many, with 44 private rooms spread across its floors. Each room is simply furnished with a king-sized bed, an attached bathroom with a shower, and its own balcony facing the valley. The wooden floors and large windows keep things bright. Downstairs, a large dining hall serves meals, and a spacious lobby offers a place to sit with a book. The design is straightforward, putting the focus on the landscape outside. Guests often speak about the sense of quiet and the service. As one visitor, Nadir Khan, put it, "The balcony view added a special touch to our stay and made it even more relaxing." Families find the open spaces a relief. "The open spaces allowed children to enjoy and play freely. The food was fresh and suitable for kids as well," another guest mentioned. The main event, however, remains the mountains. One guest listed the visible peaks: "one can see the Himalayan ranges and peaks like Trishul, Nandadevi (2nd highest peak in India), Panchachauli, Chaukham and Nandakot."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Kausani sits in the Kumaon region, with access to several key sights.

Mukteshwar Temple & Chauli Ki Jali: About 50 km from the main hub of Nainital, this 350-year-old Shiva temple offers panoramic views of the Himalayas. Next to it is Chauli Ki Jali, a cliff edge popular for sightseeing and rock climbing.

Jim Corbett National Park: One of India’s oldest and most prestigious national parks, Corbett is the place to see tigers. The main gate at Ramnagar is a few hours' drive away. The park is open from October to June.

Anasakti Ashram: A quiet ashram in Kausani itself, known for its association with Mahatma Gandhi, who stayed here and wrote his commentary on the Gita. It’s a peaceful spot for reflection, with a small museum and library.

Logistics

Getting there.

By Air: The nearest airport for the Kumaon region is Pantnagar Airport (PGH). From there, it's a taxi ride of about 4-5 hours to Kausani.

By Rail: The closest major railhead is Kathgodam (KGM), which serves as the gateway to Nainital, Almora, and Kausani. Taxis are readily available at the station for the final leg of the journey.

By Road: Kausani is well-connected by road. It is accessible from major hubs like Nainital and Almora. The drive takes you through winding mountain roads with changing scenery.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best seasons are from March to June and again from September to November. During these months, the skies are generally clear, offering the best views of the Himalayan peaks. The monsoon months of July and August bring heavy rain and the risk of landslides. The high-altitude passes and destinations like Auli or Chopta may close due to heavy snow from December to February, but Kausani itself remains accessible year-round.
