The Kumaon

Our stay at The Kumaon was nothing short of exceptional! From the breathtaking location to the warm hospitality, every aspect of our experience was memorable. A special shoutout to Suraj & Nandan, the naturalists, for their deep knowledge and passion for the region. Their insights into the local flora, fauna, and landscapes made our nature walks truly enriching. The F&B team—Gokul, Rakesh, Suraj, Rohit & Anand—ensured that every meal was a delight. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, with a perfect balance of local flavors and gourmet finesse. A big thank you to Meenakshi, Pushkar & Niraj at the front office and reservations for their seamless coordination and warm hospitality. They made sure our stay was comfortable and hassle-free. Juno, Coco & Elsa made our stay even more special with their adorable presence and warm, playful energy! And last but not least, Anita at the spa provided an incredibly relaxing experience. The serene surroundings, impeccable service, and genuine hospitality make The Kumaon a perfect getaway. We can’t wait to return!

My husband and I had the best time at The Kumaon. We absolutely loved the property, how it is designed, the amazing location, and the views of the Nanda Devi range were just stunning. As someone who loves nature and plants, this place was a real treat. I was hooked the moment I saw ferns growing in our washroom! I was impressed with their plastic free toiletries. The staff were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Loved the Kumaoni food, and we had so much fun with the unique experiences they offer, like village walks, leopard safaris, and nature trails. We even learned to make kiwi jam and salad dressing which was so yum! My favourite and the most memorable part was the candlelight dinner. A big shoutout to Abhinav- General Manager of the property for managing the property so beautifully and for taking us around and showing the places.

Aside from the great location, views, food, design, and facilities, the best part was the young, friendly, welcoming, and helpful team running the show - the manager, chef, naturalist, and everyone else was fantastic! Every facility was top-notch, and every detail was meticulously designed for our comfort and convenience. Special efforts were made to make our daughter's birthday the most memorable possible; it was very touching, and we will remember it forever. One of ours became ill the day we arrived, and the manager arranged for doctors to accompany us to the hospital in Almora at night, where he remained with us until 2:30 AM, when we were returned to the property - a gesture like that is unforgettable, and we cannot thank Abhinav and his team enough for standing by us in such a situation. We also had a great time hanging out with Juno and Elsa, the most affectionate furry friends on the property. We had an excellent time watching birds on the property for almost the entire day, which was an added bonus. Overall, it was a holiday to remember for a very long time.

We had a wonderful stay at the Kumaon. The hotel is an incredible place and we wish we could have stayed for longer. The staff are amazing and we did some great day hikes directly from the hotel. Many thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome.

My husband and I arrived early evening after a long exhausting journey having visited Kedernath and Badrinath previously. After a drink on the terrace around a log fire, I retired to bed with post altitude sickness symptoms. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to fall ill. The kitchen sent me herbal medicine and I was back on my feet to enjoy this extraordinary property. The food is amazing, the staff are like family and the accommodation is what I call quiet luxury. The three dogs are the best behave pets I have ever encountered. It was our 29th wedding anniversary so a specially baked cake was much appreciated. Almora is breathtaking and the views of Nanda Devi from our bedroom is an image I will never forget. A visit to the near by Kesar Devi temple is a must as you will experience something unique.
