Location:
Sonapani is 85 kilometers away from Naintal, 70 kilometers away from Bhimtal, and 350 kilometers away from Delhi.
About:
A dramatic view of the sunset has caught everyone's attention. suddenly, a himalayan magpie zips past and as if in slow motion, descends on to a branch of the nearby tree. and you wonder - what to see and what to miss out on! there's drama everywhere out here.
no phones in the rooms. no television to distract. there's only music - of the cool mountain breeze. complimented by swinging of the leaves. and the birds flapping their wings in unison.
it is no wonder that those who experience this once, return again and again. to a special sunrise. a special walking trail. a special place to sit and finish the novel one has been reading for six months now!. returning to moments suspended in time.
Accommodation:
These spacious cottages are built using compressed earth blocks (a development alternatives technology). a blend of british, kumaoni and modern architecture, the cottages have tinned roofs, mud-plastered interiors and modern attached bathrooms, thus creating a unique ambience of comfort and tradition.
each room has a double bed, two chairs, table and a dressing area - all made of pine wood. with the window opening towards the himalayan peaks, one can view the snow clad ranges even from the cozy comforts of the bed. the main peaks visible from here are trishul, nandadevi, maiktoli, nandakot and panchchuli. a massive 175 degree view on a clear day will definitely linger in your memory for days to come.
