About
Home to native forests, hidden waterfalls and terraced farms; the Kumaon region forms part of the historic route connecting India to Tibet. Inhabiting rustic villages dotted with medieval stone temples, the Kumaoni people practice a unique culture untouched by modernity. The Kumaon has 10 suites, nestled in pairs one atop the other, winding down a hillside. Lower suites are built of locally-quarried stone mirroring Kumaoni village homes, while upper suites are built using fly-ash bricks clad with bamboo sticks and copper wire. Suites have floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to views of the valleys below and the mountains ahead. The upper suites have bay windows and extend out to large terraces, while the lower units enjoy adjacent outdoor sitting areas surrounded by fruit trees. All Suites are fitted with traditional wood-burning bukharis, have spacious en-suite bathrooms, and ample lounging space.
