The Himalayan Panorama
Short Stay - Kumaon (Uttarakhand)
About THE HIMALAYAN PANORAMA
The stone cottages perched up a mountain top in a Kumaoni village and require a short and easy hike from the road head. The highlight of the place is undoubtedly its location high above the Ramganga river valley, surrounded by the tallest Himalayan peaks. It offers riveting 360 degree views of – Mt. Nanda Devi (7848 m), Mt. Nanda Kot (6861m) and Mt. Trishul (7120 m). The stunning views can get tiring for the eyes as you stare helplessly – from dawn to dusk, from twilight to starlight.
The village is castaway from the mainland world is a pahadi island where you get to eat what is organically grown, meet the gentle, simple and content mountain people, birds and geckos, take hikes to mountain tops and meadows, or laze around in the high grass with no worries of the outside world. Here you are in the heart of the central Himalayan wilderness.
