A look around

What's here

The road from Bhimtal winds up, leaving the lake town behind. You arrive at what one guest called a "picturesque jungle village nestled on the mountain tops, away from dust pollution." The air is clean here. The only sounds are the ones that belong - the chirping of birds, the wind in the trees. The home is run by Shiv and his wife, who live on the property and host with a warmth that feels familiar. As one guest put it, they "welcomed us like we were his family." This listing is for one spacious room that sleeps up to two people. It has a king-sized bed and an attached modern bathroom with a shower. Large glass doors open onto a private balcony, connecting the room to the valley view outside. The home is clean and thoughtfully kept, with a garden and lawn for guests to use. While meals are not included with the stay, you will have access to a kitchen to prepare your own food. The hosts, who are deeply knowledgeable about local flora and fauna, are often around to help with anything you might need. Another guest noted, "What truly stood out was the kindness and attentiveness of the hosts - they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The home is a good starting point for exploring the Kumaon region. Jim Corbett National Park, one of India's oldest tiger reserves, is a few hours' drive away. The Ramnagar gate is the most common entry point, and the park is best visited between October and June.

About 50km from Nainital is the quiet hill town of Mukteshwar. It's known for the 350-year-old Mukteshwar Temple, dedicated to Shiva, and Chauli Ki Jali, a cliff edge with sweeping views of the Himalayan range.

Logistics

Getting there.

By air: The nearest airport is Pantnagar Airport (PGH), which serves the Kumaon region. Taxis are available for the onward journey.

By rail: The closest major railhead is Kathgodam. It's the gateway to Kumaon, with connections to major cities like Delhi. From Kathgodam, you can hire a taxi to the home.

By road: The home is located about 15 km from the town of Bhimtal. Nainital and Rishikesh are the main road hubs for Kumaon and Garhwal respectively. The roads are generally well-maintained, but the final approach to the village may be on a smaller, unpaved road.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The Kumaon hills are pleasant year-round. The clearest skies and best weather are from March to June, before the monsoon, and again from September to November, after the rains have cleared the air. The monsoon months of July and August bring lush greenery but also the risk of landslides on mountain roads. While high-altitude destinations like Auli and Chopta close due to snow from December to February, the lower Kumaon region remains accessible.
