Dunagirir Retreat is an Eco yoga retreat, where heaven meets earth. We trek to cave of Mahaavtar Baba Ji. Words are but poor vehicle of thoughts, to describe the nature. Sun rise, Sunset everything was indescribable but you can only feel when you will be there, Be with your best friend - The Nature ! My sincere thanks to our host Piyush Ji, who is a real gem.
the best place to re energize yourself.. All hotels provide service but very few provide service with love and hearty caring nature, dunagiri retreat is one of them, during stay felt like homely caring atmosphere with privacy and suitable for any age group of person.Thanks once again to entire Dunagiri retreat team.
The three of us (an Indian, American and Frenchman) came here to experience calmness and nature. The entire site and experience is so 'natural' that it transports you to another world. Our host Piyush was (is) par excellence and really looks after you. Time stands still while one can be a part of nature, be it the fruit trees, fresh organic produce to be had each day, yoga, treks and understanding nature and our true relationship with it. Always looking forward to coming back.
I had the pleasure of staying at Dunagiri Retreat recently with several of my childhood friends for a reunion. It was an excellent experience - starting with very warm and welcoming hospitality of the owner, Piyush, along with his staff. They made us feel like we were visiting family and were their personal guests. Facility itself is in a beautiful area surrounded by majestic mountains. It is set up to provide optimal privacy to guests with an excellent choice of rooms ranging from completely separate cottages to a room in the main lodge. All rooms offer a great view of surrounding forested hills. Staff prepared fresh, vegetarian meals which were really excellent. They even arranged a special cake for us to celebrate our reunion. Piyush accompanied us on nearby hikes to…
I had been travelling in kamoun and Garhwal a lot but this place is out of the world!.It is not only beautiful but has some spiritual power.Last week I visited this place with my friends ..Piyush, the owner, told me that first day you might not like the place as much but as you will stay you will start falling in love with it and that was exactly what happened. I got so enthralled with this place that now when I look back and think, I wonder why we keep on running for material pleasures which can only give us temporary satisfaction. Real happiness eludes us .I came back relaxed and rejuvenated .Dunagiri I love you! Some useful suggestions- Trekking to nearby places is a must, stay here minimum for three or four nights.. Lots of wildlife, no t.v, no phones, no newspaper…
For an incredibly beautiful experience in Northern India ... go directly to the Dunagiri Resort☺️! We have visited India for the first time in October 2014. The first week was spent at the Dunagiri Resort for a wonderful week course of Qi gong. The resort and our hosts, Piyush and Katy, with their warm welcome, charming and nurturing environment offered us an exceptional experience throughout our stay. The beautiful natural surrounding of the area proved to be a unique natural support for all our activities A special thanks to Piyush and Katy, for their kindness and patience for our many questions...and needs, their knowledgable sharing on so many subjects, not the least of the country, its traditions, history and deep comprehension of the sacred aspects of the Himalaya area.…
Imagine you have a friend who has a bungalow somewhere in Kumaon region. The place is full of stories from Sat, Treta and Dwapar yuga. You have stories from Hanuman, Ashrams of Shuka and Garg muni, a 'gupt' vaishnav shakti peeth - the only one other than Vaishno devi at Jammu, you have a cave where Pandavas were supposed to have lived and deceived Duryodhana's spies, you have Bababji's cave - the same babaji who lived no one knows how many centuries, the who initated Lahiri Mahashay and whose description can be found in Chapter 34 of Swami Yoganand's book "Yogi Kathamrit" or "Autobiography of a Yogi". You can also meet an extra-ordinary living person - Bhatkoti baba - who is believed to have lived in a cave here only on leaves for 10-12 years. So much about the place, but what…
We traveled to the resort during end December, we were the only guests staying at the resort. Have to admit that staying with Piyush and Kathy was truly wonderfully, these guys are amazing hosts and the hotel staff are equally warm and loving. Since we visited the resort in December, it was quite cold but Piyush took care of our needs really well, he did not come across as Hotel manager, albeit a family member. The rooms were clean, spacious and had necessary provisions for comfortable stay. The food was local fare, absolutely delicious, oozed of love. Piyush lovingly showed us his Pyramid meditation centre, it is beautifully done and very vibrant. The resort is on the opposite hill from Babaji's cave, the energy within the resort also is extremely vibrant, just by closing…
We went there for 10 days with a group of 29 in mid-April. They absolutely were not ready for such a large group. Most of the cabin didn't have electricity or running water for several days. When in India, a working toilet is kind of mandatory as people get sick easily. And buckets of warm water had to be asked each time to take a shower. It was cold and rainy for that time of the year and we had to wait several days before getting heating devices in each rooms and the owner wanted to make us pay extra for wood for the rooms with a wooden heating oven. There was no indoor dinning room, so we were obligated to eat outside in the cold all the time. The owner showed aggressivity several times. We had to do yoga in the smoke of their garbage burning fire. At that height…
A friend and I stayed here for a couple days in August 2014 in the midst of a chaotic tour of India. It was a highlight of our trip! It is very remote and hard to get to, but the drive is completely worth it! (bring anti-nausea meds if you are prone to car sickness.) Great scenery, wonderful hosts, and its good to know this place has such a positive impact on the villages surrounding it. We chose to do some trekking as well as some relaxing: prayer and reading. We left feeling very recharged and ready to face the rest of our trip. Don't come here expecting to be entertained by anything (TV, tourist attractions) - it is just you and nature - do with that as you will. We loved it, and 3 days was not nearly enough! Thank you Piyush and Katy for welcoming us and making our stay so…
