The burnt red of the cottages forms a restful backdrop to verdant environs.
Sloping tiled roofs, cool stone floors with throw rugs, block wood furniture
and other details allow maximum comfort while continuing the illusion of being
in the wilds.
The accent is clearly on nature. The 40 guest rooms have a clever area separation,
for sleeping and for living, as in a suite. You get a sense of miles of extra
space.
Double roomed suites are available for groups and families.
All the rooms are air conditioned with hot water in baths, and a refrigerator
full of cooling drinks.
Dining :
The resort serves excellent continental food and Indian cuisine. And a great
variety of it all!
The specialities of the Kumaoni region are a favorite feature on the menu.
The emphasis is on freshness of produce. Remember to ask for minestrone soup,
which is a wee bit spicy but lipsmacking. And the chicken kakori kababs that
give your palate exciting information on gourmet cooking!
