I had planned a lazy writing weekend at Itmenaan Estate and was surprised to be greeted by a naturalist on arrival. The wildlife and bird life of the Western Himalaya is not so well known but a weekend at Itmenaan will easily turn you into an enthusiast! Instead of lazing around, I took to the hills. Barking deer, ghoral, martins,... More

Just imagine you are in a traditional village house isolated from the civilization surrounded by the snow peaks of the mighty Himalayas, but amidst un-parallel luxury. . Just imagine you wake up to the chirping of so many species of birds you have never seen or heard. Come out of your room and the mighty Nandadevi is right in front... More

Right from the first email, we found Itmenan a wholesome different experience. We booked all the 3 rooms in Itmenan for the last week of January for 5 nights. The staff is excellent and they really take care and know their stuff. Food was good, and was adapted to our needs as we requested simple home made Indian food. On... More

Plus side : fantastic views. Solitude. Physical good walks. Very clean. Good water supply. Food/Meals provided. Very Good staff. Though need to find a way of attracting staff attention better as in a separate building. Great getaway location Negatives: no vehicle access so strenuous walk from road down steep incline for 30 mins to lodge. No electricity during the day.... More

The adventure with itmenaan starts the moment you park your... More

I stayed here for 3 nights in April 2012.The service ,food and room were wonderful.The staff were so professional and made my short stay here so memorable and I would love to return again. Walks through the valleys give one a chance to meet local people and experience customs.

We were thoroughly looked after by the staff at Itmenaan from the moment we enquired about booking and then throughout our whole stay. Lots of small details were thought about such a leaving umbrellas outside the door in case it rained in the morning. We went with 2 other couples and so had the place to ourselves - highly recommended... More

Beautiful place , isolated , excellent service We had a great time , but more so as we were with another couple. Nothing much though for young kids to do, so they do need company . Overall a wonderful place

Rarely do you see luxury coupled with personalized service, that is exactly what you get at Itmenaan. We were pampered by the staff to the utmost and no 5 star hotel or B&B i have visited in India and abroad comes even close the service the staff provides. My kids yet talk of the courteous and incredible service at Itmenaan.... More
