This is a much delayed post; however its better late than never! Travel Dates: 2nd March, 2019 – 8th March, 2019 Location: Himalayan Glamping Retreat, Munsiyari Weather Condition: Snowed on 28th Feb, resulting in blocking of roads to Munsiyari Distance to travel: ~600 KMs Our second anniversary celebration time, we, in much need to get out of the city’s hustle bustle life, decided to drive down to Munsiyari in look out for serenity and peace; which was a destination in mind for a long time. Being warned multiple times by the property owner (Rupesh), about the weather conditions, we still headed for the destination from Delhi. To our great surprise, Rupesh was constantly in touch with us when we started the journey from Delhi till we reached there (almost a 2 days span). Guiding us the route to reach, time to start, etc, he ensured that we reach our destination safe and sound. Since we took a long route due to snow blockages on main route, we entered Munsiyari from the backside with hardly any visible snow. As soon as we entered the property, to our much surprise it was covered with heavy snow. We were received with much gratitude and hospitality at the retreat. Served with hot towels, steaming hot lemon ginger tea, with bukhari lit up in the dining hall; It all felt awesomely warm when we stepped inside the hall from a temperature of 2 degree Celsius...This is a much delayed post; however its better late than never!

Our second anniversary celebration time, we, in much need to get out of the city’s hustle bustle life, decided to drive down to Munsiyari in look out for serenity and peace; which was a destination in mind for a long time.
Being warned multiple times by the property owner (Rupesh), about the weather conditions, we still headed for the destination from Delhi.
To our great surprise, Rupesh was constantly in touch with us when we started the journey from Delhi till we reached there (almost a 2 days span). Guiding us the route to reach, time to start, etc, he ensured that we reach our destination safe and sound. Since we took a long route due to snow blockages on main route, we entered Munsiyari from the backside with hardly any visible snow. As soon as we entered the property, to our much surprise it was covered with heavy snow. We were received with much gratitude and hospitality at the retreat. Served with hot towels, steaming hot lemon ginger tea, with bukhari lit up in the dining hall; It all felt awesomely warm when we stepped inside the hall from a temperature of 2 degree Celsius

We were taken to our cottage which were well constructed, beautifully furnished, warm and cosy, tastefully done; comfortable beds with large and well equipped bathrooms. Such places are seldom found in a small and remote location like this. The cottages had a verandah with a view of the mighty Panchachuli ranges. Enabling us to chill out and sip a cup of tea in the foot of Himalayans.
Day 3 morning, it was bright and shining, when we opened up the cottage curtains, it was a new view of Munsiyari found. A beautiful and breathtaking view of Panchachuli Ranges right in front of the cottage; felt so close to Himalayas. We were told each day is a new view of Munsiyari and the beautiful ranges.

Amazing food; one of the best ones I’ve ever had on a holiday. Heads down to the cook for preparing all variety of cuisines from Thai to Korean to Chinese to Italian to Kumaoni; all with much thought, as per our taste, delicious and bursting with flavor and freshness; none of it a repeat. The day was full of 5 course meals with all different variety and cooked with much care.

There were small little things taken care of – warm water buckets as much as you need, limitless hot ginger lemon tea, different variety of cookies with morning tea, dropping back to cottage post sun set, arranging guide for short drive through, helping to visit nearby Shiv temple on Shivrathi as well, lively conversations, Bukhari lit up as much as you need. The entire staff was prompt, polite, caring, diligent, efficient.
To add to our surprise, Rupesh and the owner Prashant Bisht, followed us on our return drive till we crossed the snow covered road ensuring that we do not get stuck.
This is the best place to indulge in some marvelous bird watching, with flocks of birds fly around in splendor.
As Munisyari is the base for all the treks, owing to weather conditions, we could not do none. However, there is no setback for same. Since even today as we sit back and recall the time spent, it just leaves us with a smile and beautiful memories of how we were pampered away from home.
The untouched treks, the different colors of Munsiyari, will for sure call us there and we hope to get pampered again and again!!More
