Large well lit room, bunk beds for kids, acres of trees and fauna, friendly staff, a place remote and secluded from elsewhere + On a clear day a view of the Himalayas (Trishul, Nanda Devi cluster etc.) right from your room. If you are an early riser there is quite a bit of bird watching you can do in the morning. In addition, you can do a few treks, play badminton/table tennis/chess/game of cards in the indoor high roofed hall. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are buffet affairs. You are better off having these, as the property is self sufficient & delightfully remote. Through our entire trip to Uttarakhand we had been wanting to have local food and were lucky enough to have Kumaon food when it was served at lunch on one of the days. Would vote for more variation in the breakfast…
The Misty Mountains is a small property in The Misty Mountains is a small property in the Kumaon hills, a mind-blowing location, more beautiful than anywhere I have been before. Though the journey is a long one, 490 km from Delhi, it is more than worthwhile once one gets there. The rooms all face the Himalayan snow ranges, and the view is a 180 degree one. One could spend hours just looking the mountains. We were in a suite which could comfortably accommodate a family of 4. Everything was clean and comfortable, the service excellent. Since the property is built on a hillside, a bit of climbing up and down was required if one wanted to stroll about, but nothing very demanding even for us senior citizens. This is not the place to go if your idea of a holiday is 5 star…
I rarely write negative reviews, but this is the first time I have been let down so badly by tripadvisor suggestions . The visit began badly. Though there were 2 families waiting to enter the resort, the owners sent only one jeep to pick us up. The other family immediately installed themselves and their luggage in the jeep, leaving us with no alternative but to wait on the road for 45 minutes. The driver berated us, and said 'get in get in, or you will see how long you have to wait.' In the event, we waited for 45 minutes. We reached the resort, and the owner was not in the least bit apologetic for the discomfort we faced. What went well : 1. The room we were upgraded to was spacious 2. One of the staff, Mr Raju, was welcoming and helpful. He was the only bright spot in the…
Misty Mountains is off the beaten path and is a gem of a place once you reach it! We stopped there for a night enroute to Munsiari but regretted not staying there longer! The road to reach the resort is very rough and tough but the hosts are considerate to arrange a vehicle from base point to their resort! We of course decided to take our 4x4 up till the resort and had an off roading experience! The hosts, Madhur and Ambika have made a lot of effort in maintaining the resort and making guests feel welcome! Ambika’s home made jams and pickles are a treat, the food is great and rooms are very clean and well maintained! One has to stay at least two or three nights to soak in the experience and views!
We stayed in misty mountain (two families) in April 2019. The excitement starts when you park your vehicle 3 kms before the resort and take resort jeep. The next 3 kms road looks treacherous with the jeep ride on first time, but we realized that it is really not so dangerous after we did it second time. The guy who drives the jeep , makes it all the more fun. So it is ok, just a bit of adventure before you reach a tranquil place. The property is vast , secluded and beautiful. Well beautiful is an understatement. Just the the sitting area in front of our cottages itself was worth all the journey. Because you can see tens of kms in front of you, with a whole range of mountains (Nandadevi, Panchachuli, Trishul, Shiv-Parbati) as back drop and forested land all around you to keep…
I chanced upon this resort while browsing for a stay in Chaukori, and it caught my eye instantly! And the overwhelmingly postive reviews on Tripadvisor helped me to zero down on it for our holidays in Kumaon district in Uttarakhand! All our pre-booking queries were quickly and correctly answered by Ms Kavita, and booking itself was quite smooth. I cant say the same for the journey to reach there from Ahmedabad, though! But once you reach there, you forget it in few moments itself ! It took us around 9 hours by road from Rudrapur city to reach the parking area where their driver was waiting to take us the last few kilometers to the resort in their own vehicle as the road is very rough and steep, and it was an enjoyable and bumpy ride through the jungle! On reaching the resort,…
Starting from Jageswar temple after offering puja, we drove to Jhaltola through the zig zag road lined with pine trees. Took a brief halt at the border of Almora and Pithoragarh. Arrived at Riagarh in the afternoon, the last town where one can get the basics. Moving ahead we took the turn to climb up to our destination and stopped at a place from where the hotel vehicle ferried us to Misty Mountain, our temporary home in the hills. The road was very rough in the last lap. We were greeted by our host Mrs Ambica on our arrival. It was late in the afternoon and had a quick bite of sandwitches and coffee. An absolute silence that prevailed was punctured by continuous bird calls. A Rufous Sibia and a Black headed Jay were around our cottage. In the evening I set off for a sunset…
We went there on 22nd March 2019 with my family. We stayed in the family cottage. Room no 101. People may complain about the journey and the rough terrain. But we don't, we actually liked and enjoyed the last 3 kms jeep ride to the property. The food was awesome, everything from the pickles to the dessert. Thank You Ambika. Rags was always there as our friendly companion. Will come soon may in winters... Keep this property as pure as you have kept it till date
We went to Misty mountains in the second week of January and I can say this was the best resort we've visited so far in Uttarakhand. The view of the Himalayas, the service, the owners of the resort, staff, food and I can go on. Everything was way beyond expectations :) And I'm proud to say that I suggested this place for our holiday. So if you want both luxury and solitude, then please visit this resort. The place has both cottages and suites so you can choose as per your need. The owner is very humble and helpful and their daughter is a darling. Super cute. Food served to us was super tasty and there was a lot of variety in every meal. Now the best part of this place or at least the best for us were the electric blankets! We slept so comfortably despite the temperatures…
The resort is located at a vantage spot and gives the 360 degree view of the Himalayan snow capped peaks . It’s like waking up to a dream sight which is unique and special in all respects. One can spend hours gazing at the mountain and variety of birds which visit the trees in the resort Madhur and Ambika were the perfect hosts and have a great perspective on the region to offer and knowledge of the surrounding which are very important in planning the outings / nature walks etc The staff was great and ever helpful and met all our requests with a smile. Must visit location in Uttarakhand for the mountain lovers and trekkers and star gazers
