“A five-bedroom home in Mukteshwar set on a wide lawn, with views of the Himalayan range. The spacious rooms look out onto apple and apricot orchards, and much of the produce is grown on the premises and served fresh. It’s a quiet place to unwind, with a cafe on the top floor for 360-degree views. The staff, led by Prakash, can share advice on local walks and sights.”

A look around

What's here

The first thing you notice is the lawn. A wide, green expanse that rolls right up to the edge of the valley, with a hammock slung between two trees. The two-story home sits at the back of the lawn, its red roof a spot of colour against the green hills. A wrap-around balcony on both floors offers a place to sit and watch the light change over the mountains. Inside, the home has five spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, accommodating up to 10 guests in total. The real draw, as one guest put it, is the "gorgeous views from the cafe on their top floor, 360 degree views." It’s a place to settle in for a long time. The kitchen is known for its exceptional food, with a special focus on fresh ingredients. "All the produce grown is served on the premises," a visitor noted, from the on-site apple and apricot plantations. The team on the ground is a key part of the stay. Mr. Prakash, who manages the home, is often mentioned by guests for his local knowledge and attentiveness. As one guest shared, "Mr Prakash is very knowledgeable and always available to give his advice."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Mukteshwar is quieter than the main Kumaon lake towns, a good starting point for walks and temple visits.

Mukteshwar Temple and Chauli Ki Jali are a short drive away. The 350-year-old Shiva temple is a place of local pilgrimage, but the real highlight is Chauli Ki Jali, a cliff edge with sweeping views of the Himalayan valley. It's a popular spot for rappelling and rock climbing, or just to watch the sunset.

Jim Corbett National Park, India's oldest national park, is a few hours' drive. The Ramnagar gate is the most common entry point for tiger safaris. The park is open from October to June and is best explored on an early morning or evening jeep safari.

The town of Nainital, the main hub of the Kumaon region, is about 50 km away. It's a good destination for a day trip to see the Naini Lake, walk the Mall Road, or take the cable car up to Snow View Point.

Logistics

Getting there.

By Air: The nearest airport is Pantnagar Airport (PGH), which serves the Kumaon region. From the airport, it is a 3-4 hour taxi ride to Mukteshwar.

By Rail: The closest major railhead is Kathgodam (KGM), located at the foothills. It is well-connected to major cities like Delhi and Kolkata. From Kathgodam, Mukteshwar is a taxi ride of about 2-3 hours.

By Road: Mukteshwar is well-connected by road. It is approximately 350 km from Delhi, a drive that takes 7-8 hours. The town is 50 km from Nainital and 40 km from Almora.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best seasons are from March to June and again from September to November. These months offer clear skies, pleasant weather, and the best views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks.

The monsoon season, from July to August, brings lush greenery but also the risk of landslides, which can disrupt travel plans. Winters, from December to February, are cold, with occasional snowfall. While beautiful, some higher-altitude roads and attractions may be temporarily closed.
