“Best views of Indian Himalayas, One with Nature”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

This place has the best views of the Himalayan ranges of gharwal & Kumaon( Have been to Ranikhet, Kausani, Binsar, Roopkund, and areas in Gharwal.
Excellent location, great cottages & facilities, homely food, and well so much to do around. One can take a trip to Patal Bhuvneshwar caves, or the Birhti Falls enroute to Munsiyari or well the Jungle trek to Lamkeshwar Mahadev that start just behind the resort. If nothing just take a book laze on a hammock with a grand view of the himalayas. Highly recommended if you are going out in a group. One can take the morning train and halt at Binsar and reach the resort the next day. Alternatively take the overnight train and drive 7-8 hours to reach the resort in the day.

Room Tip: We stayed at the Rosevilla Suites that are new and the best of the lot for couples with children( We...

“Incredible India....perfect combination of natural beauty...and warm hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

This trip was planned to be with nature.....and it turned out to be the perfect place. Those who want to be away from the rat race of life wiLL find complete solitude here....no internet connectivity....no phones....no TV....just the brilliant sun...the hammocks...the chilled wind...the glowing angeethis.....just bliss!

From the cook who made the wonderful home food...to the driver who went up- down with ease and got the guests up that grueling dirt track :) ....to the house boys who ran about the resort with the hot water bottles...to Ambika and Madhur, the wonderful hosts....the warmth and friendliness oozed from them all. For the team each guest is important and special and everyones special needs are catered for.

Not to miss points....the masala maggie and the night treks- nothing to beat them both!!!

But one disappointment....we didnt get to see the Leopard....he didnt show his spots!!! But we will be back soon to catch him some day....lazing on that rock that he so likes.

Stayed December 2011, travelled with family

Dear Sharan ,

Thank you for your kind words :)

We saw pug marks of a female leopard and two cubs in the snow up at Lamkeshwar. Hopefully we will get to see them soon. May be with you around!

warm regards,

“Great place for a laid-back vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This place has got some amazing reviews..but to be honest I got a bit scared when I read one of the reviewers comment that this place is not worth the distance..thankfully that did not make us cancel the trip otherwise we would have missed this unforgettable experience..

We were a group of 3 couples and we wanted to go to a place which was away from the hustle bustle of city..It couldn’t get any better for us. We stayed in a group cottage where each of us had a separate bedroom and a big common living room..the rooms are very cozy and comfortable with an amazing view of the Himalayas.

Me and my husband were travelling from Mumbai..so it was a really long journey for us..my advice to anyone visiting Misty Mountains is do not plan a rushed vacation..make a plan to stay there for at least 4-5 days..

They have so much to offer that you can plan your holiday the way you want..Adventures, picnics, birding or if you are like us, you can spend all days happily doing nothing :)

We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality, cleanliness and the maintenance of the place. The staff is very helpful. A special mention to the lovely hosts – Madhur and Ambika…they have set-up a beautiful home there and it is definitely worth a visit.

“Excellent place to spend vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I have traveled quite a bit in Garhwal and Himachal. But this was my first extensive trip to Kumaon (apart from Nainital and nearby areas where I have been quite a few times). We decided to stay at Misty as this place was suggested by a friend.
We decided on three destinations on our 9 day trip by road from Delhi. We chose to stay at Misty as 2nd destination as driving straight from Delhi can be a bit too much (unless you take a train to Kathgodam and then taxi). But then, I guess that is the usp of this place, if this had been easy drive from Delhi, it would have lost its serenity.
We reached misty via a interesting last 3 km stretch which can test your driving skills because there is very little margin to err. Once we reached Misty, I would have to say that, it was one of the most beautiful locations I have stayed at (apart from my trekking trips). Room was neat and service is very good. Food is buffet style but cooking is excellent so you actually enjoy the limited palate. There are quite a few things you can do once you are at Misty, easy day hikes, play some TT, carrom, Badminton with friends or one can just sit and relax and gaze at mighty peaks all day.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax, do some photography and spend some quite and quality time with family and/or friends.

“Savor nature’s beauty at its soothing best… @ The Misty Mountains, Jhaltola.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Savor nature’s beauty at its soothing best… @ The Misty Mountains, Jhaltola.
Imagine an intimate resort that lets you get away from it all. You can have everything here.. dreamy, lazy days, basking in the soothing gentleness of nature, gazing at the changing hues of the Himalayas swaying gently on the hammocks, total rejuvenation, a feast on sumptuous cuisine, simple yet incredible entertainment in Pant ji’s melodious voice et al.
I was at the Misty Mountains to ring in the New Year with family and friends where we were pampered with the finest indulgences by the owner of the resort, Mr. Madhur Chabra. Missed the expected snowfall but had a gr8 time. I have no words to describe the majestic , breathtaking and ever changing views of the Himalayas that you get right from the comfort of your cozy bed in the elegantly designed Rosevilla suites. Seeing is believing…
Power supply was a big problem during our stay and something needs to be done about the risky approach road but overall it was like being in Paradise. A never before, total holiday experience.
And to top it all the biggest bonanza was the very reasonable and modest tariff.

Dear Mr. Anand,

Thank you for your kind words. Its heartening to know that you had a good time here with us. :)

You are right about the road and we are improving it by and by with every season. Since it is a jungle road of 3 kms, there is only so much we can do though. However, we do make it a point to send an escort vehicle to Ram Mandir from where the dirt road starts to neutralize any problems.

As for power backup, we do provide it for lighting purposes though not for heating. Since, electricity supply is rarely a problem except during inclement weather, we provide hot water bottles to keep everyone warm during the winters.

I hope we will have the pleasure of hosting you again sometime soon.

warm regards,

madhur
