Himalayan
Odyssey

The Kumaon Himalayas in Uttarakhand, North India. Conjure up a kaleidoscope of images of breathtaking natural beauty. Ranging from shimmering lakes, deeply forested hill slopes, emerald green rolling meadows, offbeat quaint hamlets, fruit orchards to a fish eyes view of the mighty snow-clad Himalayan peaks and mesmerizing sunsets. From boating and sailing in mountain lakes, from long walks and soft treks in the mountains and through local Kumaoni villages and ancient temples, to just unwinding or introspecting - Kumaon offers it all. This hill belt is a photographers delight, an artists dream and a writers inspiration. |

Monali &
I would like to thank you for the nice arrangements you made
for our honeymoon to Kumaon. We truly
enjoyed our stay especially at Mukteshwar and Almora,
Binsar. The rooms were nicely arranged and the the food was
unexpectedly good in these remote places. We were also very happy
with our driver. He was polite, non-intrusive and drove very
skillfully in the hills. Thanks for everything and hope to avail
your services again in the future. Regards.
