Four rooms on a ridge
facing the snow.
A 1920s stone house above Almora with a long wooden verandah, four guest rooms and a cook from the village. Tell us when, and who's coming.
Check datesWhich room, which month
The weather up here decides a lot. Pick a date and you'll see what that month is like, and which rooms fit your party.
Four rooms
No two the same, and no televisions in any of them.
Mornings on the verandah
Tea at seven, when the peaks are pink and the valley is still under cloud. Breakfast at nine, and nobody minds if you're late.
Food, walks and getting hereBefore you book
- How do we get there?
- Train to Kathgodam, then a three-hour drive up through Almora. We'll book a taxi for you from the station.
- Is there food?
- Breakfast and dinner are part of the stay, cooked in the kitchen from what's in season. Lunch on request.
- Is there mobile signal and Wi-Fi?
- Jio and Airtel work on the verandah. Wi-Fi is slow but steady, fine for email, not for video calls.
- Can we bring a dog?
- In the Orchard Cottage, yes. Tell us when you book; the house dogs need to be introduced.
- Is it suitable for elderly parents?
- The Orchard Cottage and Deodar Room are step-free from the car. The Attic has 24 steep stairs.
- What if the road closes?
- In the monsoon it sometimes does. If you can't reach us on the day, we move your dates without a fee.
