Discover the Land of Beauty: Kumaon

Let’s stop for a while and ponder over the rich and glorious time of the past. When living life within the warmth of nature and enjoying the sweet music of flora & fauna was much easier!

How many times do we curse ourselves for choosing a life that makes us slaves of technology and keeps us away to cherish what we have received from Mother Nature? Well, to match the living standards it is somewhere or the other important for us to keep following the rat race. However, stealing some time with your loved ones to escape away to an abode that greets you with a rejuvenating feel is not a task. Uttarakhand, the land of Gods, is a place that is away from the cacophony of the concrete world that we are living in. It gifts us the utmost sense of peacefulness and soul-soothing experience. Kumaon however, in particular, is a place that is a must visit. Look out for the reasons below to know why:

1. Jim Corbett National Park

If you have an adventurous spirit or interest to explore the wildlife, there is no way you should stop yourself to visit the place. With a historical background referring to the famous, Jim Corbett, this national park is dedicated to his spirit of killing man-eaters and love for them. There is a museum dedicated to Jim Corbett, shedding light on his life in India. Apart from this, cozy and beautiful guesthouses, machans, and bonfire settings will leave you awestruck.

2. Abbotsford House

Built in 1876, this Raj-era perfection once served as the summer home for a British official. Abbotsford House is classic Nainital: A genuine Raj-era home, on the edge of town, with a wide, well-manicured lawn and a commanding view of the valley, mountains, and forests. The main house is decorated and furnished in a traditional style, with wooden furniture, large portraits and antiquarian books and artifacts. The best part if that they offer accommodation too.

3. Rural life of Kumaon

Walking down a mountain at twilight in Kumaon, gives you a different kind of chills. Snow peaks in the distance; an owl sitting on a branch above, a small forest temple is just simply an expression of simple sanctity in a natural setting. Through those up and down lanes of the villages, you’ll see various cottages in Kumaon. People are extremely friendly and will entertain you over a bonfire with their stories to only take you into a sweet nostalgia of how their life is.

These are few things that can make you fall in love with the place, people and the whole picture of Kumaon. There are lots of places to visit in this region and a lot of places yet to be explored. To add more to your trip, choose Himalaica Resorts, which will provide you with finest amenities.
