We had the most tranquil and peaceful time at Tara. Kalyan is an excellent host - from prompt responses to our queries before travel to completely welcoming us into their family home and sharing interesting stories and having hearty meals together - we had a very relaxed holiday. We were treated as a part of the family. Their house offers spectacular views of the Himalayas. We weren't too lucky owing to the weather. But we still managed to catch a glimpse of Trishul one evening. The chirping of the birds and the beautifully landscaped garden immediately puts ones mind at ease. I couldn't get enough of it. My 15 month old too enjoyed running around and getting the most of it. During our stay there, our little one suddenly developed flu symptoms. We were promptly assisted to go visit a local paed to seek medical advice. It truly felt like home away from home. I would strongly recommend travelers to Ranikhet to stay with Kalyan and Anita.

Had a fantastic and tuly memorable stay! Kalyan was very responsive from the first communication and patiently answered all our of many questions! He proactively shared info about the place and route and made sure to check in with us if all was fine. Their home is tranquil and beautifully with ample space to relax and unwind and they made us feel very welcome! Kalyan and Anita were out of town for a few days and in their absence the caretaker was of great help. If you're looking for a serene and scenic location, I cannot recommend a stay at Tara and our lovely hosts enough !

Tara is a gorgeous home in the hills, with splendid views from the rooms and beautiful porch and garden. A great place to unwind, relax, read and drink pots of tea. Though Kalyan wasn't at Tara when we visited, he managed to play the perfect long distance host! Don't miss the delicious home made bread, served at breakfast.

Tara is a beautifully done up home. It's spacious yet cosy and looks like it belongs on a postcard. Every corner is filled with artsy touches. There are plenty of corners to curl up with a book; you can also just stare into the hills from the porch for hours. The food is simple and delicious and Ranjit (the caretaker) is super helpful. Had a lovely weekend here.

We had a great time at Kalyan and Anita's place. They are wonderful hosts and the house and garden are as described--it truly is a marvel "of stone, wood and glass". It's about 6 kms from Ranikhet centre, so you're away from the 'hilltown hustle', as it were. It's a great place to relax, chill and do nothing for a few days. We had our dog (who's getting on into seniordom) with us, and he seems to have quite enjoyed the house and the wild English garden. The views are great, and Ranjith's cooking was amazing, even for a dedicated carnivore like yours truly (who knew a pumpkin sabji could taste so nice!!) We would love to go back and visit again.

Best place in the Ranikhet area. Very well done. Quiet for a good nights sleep. Fresh air great natural views. The owners are very hospitable and good people.

I stayed there for 3 nights along with my family of 7 (including 2 small kids of less than 4 years). The place provide an awesome view of the valley. It is nicely located far from urban chaos and a really nice place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. The village is well connected with roads and the place is few hundred meters from main road. It is a perfect place to enjoy the vacations. Host is always available to support. The home cooked food is also available so you need not to worry about the food on your trip. The place is family friendly and suitable for all age groups (kids, young and elderly people).

They say 'chasing angels or fleeing demons, go to the mountains'. And Ranikhet, for a fact sure does make for a good place to chase angels. Set between mountains and greenery, Ranikhet is a small hill station and amidst this greenery, we chose to stay at 'Magnum Forrest Apartment'. This is a home stay,hosted by Mr Aditya. The way he has maintained this place is pure brilliance. Although,he was not around, he made sure all was in place and we did not face any difficulty during the entire stay. It is a complete home stay with a fully equipped kitchen, a gorgeous balcony overlooking the quaint little streets of the town and to top it all, a dry bar with glasses for every kind of liquor you can imagine. What more could a bunch of youngsters looking to get away from the hectic work life want? At 'Magnum Forrest Apartments', we surely chased a whole lot of angels and fled many more 'work life demons' and we are sure many will agree with us too. Highly recommended place for anyone planning a trip to Ranikhet With Family and Friends and with a dependable caring host Aditya what more can one ask for !!

Place is ideally located from vacation point of view having advantage of being away from traffic route and quite close to golf course! The view from the house is spectacular! Aditya is a very warm host and guided us all through our journey from delhi to local sight seeing at ranikhet ! Flat is luxuriously furnished and is quite cosy!

The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Good place to stay. Best location close to city but away from the hassle.

Himsukh was just cottage . The views are great . The food and service by team was perfect to the last minute detail. We enjoyed our stay very much. Looking forward to visiting the other properties of Sukhalaya. Himsukh is for those who need no itinerary but who can spen a day looking at the mountains , waking up the chirping of birds and sipping on some coffee and reading a book. It makes you reconnect with nature !

Its a lovely place with great views and good food.

Himsukh Cottage is a lovely stone-and-wood house, overlooking the mighty Himalayan ranges, and located in a quaint and peaceful little community called Majkhali. The views from the front porch or the French windows are reason enough to spend a long weekend there, but that's not where it stops being awesome. The interiors are lovely, and transport you to a different, wonderful world altogether. Much has been written about the caretaker, Shyam's, culinary skills and hospitality, and I'd heartily +1 that :) I would really recommend climbing up the slope next to the house for an incredible 360-degree view of the region. The one area of improvement I found was the heating- the temperature dipped on the first day we were there, and while the blankets kept us warm in the night, the small heaters didn't stop us freezing during the day. However, there are plenty of positives to counter that little glitch, and if you're going during the warmer months, it shouldn't be a concern at all. On the whole, it was a thoroughly delightful stay, and I frequently found myself reliving stories I'd read as a child about life in the quaint hill towns of Uttarakhand. Thanks for an amazing getaway!

Good stay. I had booked Himalayan Anchor for two members of our rather large group, while I was staying elsewhere. However I ended up spending both the evenings there because of the ambience of its living room and good hospitality from Ganesh the caretaker. He organized the fire place well and cooked up some good dishes. The rooms are large and well kept , so are the bathrooms. The place is easy to reach , just a couple of tough turns in the last lap. Nice views from the property . Recommend this place for a quiet sojourn.

Amazing place with breath taking view.We were two couples and enjoyed a lot at the property.Ganesh the caretaker was very helpfull and helped us a lot.Raghvendra helped us at each step and helped a lot to make our stay wonderfull.

I visited the place with my friends to have a break from hustle n bustle of town life. This place is quiet a thing to stay in and was apt for the break . Up in the hills surrounded by deep valleys and a view of snow clad Himalayas…Couldn’t take my eyes off from the view when I first saw the view in morning. When it rained we almost touched the clouds from balcony. Place was cozy and comfy. Our host has superbly arranged the things and we could not ask for more. Caretaker; Ganesh was very polite and prompt to answer everything and to provide for our requests. While on our stay we learnt few local dishes’ recipe from him and taught him too in return. We found the place safe and neighborhood was not at all disturbing. We enjoyed roaming on hilly roads up and down and took a look of small village nearby. Ambiance inside the house was cool and clear vision of a naval officer’s choice. We thoroughly enjoyed the place and would like to revisit soon. A big Thank you to Raghvendra for hosting us in his house!!

Beautiful and quiet place at Majkhali!! The house is very well made with beautiful interiors. A very special thanks to the caretaker Me. Ganesh who was of great help. Will surely visit again in winters hoping for a clear, haze-free days so that can watch the snow capped mountains along with the amazing breakfast served by Ganesh bhaiya :)

Everybody going around Ranikhet or Almora should stay at this place. The house is beautiful and amazing to stay in. The balcony offers an amazing view of the snow capped mountains. The house has all the amenities. The caretaker is very nice and takes care of all your needs. I and my family had a wonderful experience.

The home is lit! Market very accessible and the caretaker Ganesh bhaiya will be there for each and every chores, he is a man you can rely on. Finding good booze nearby is impossible no bars but you can get some at Ranikhet . The balcony will bring out the child in you. Furniture will get you all cosy. The house is very beautiful and decorated with things which shows the Valor of the owmer Mr. Raghvendra, a very nice person, very polite and friendly. Will visit again.

Well our objective of visiting this place was to spend the quality time with the family in the nature away from the busy & hectic city life. Must say the property , location , views , scenic beauty & the hospitality was more than we expected. The property is done & also maintained beautifully. Each & every small thing has been done very meticulously & it only speaks about the class , taste & the involvement of the stakeholders. We really enjoyed all the facilities in the property be it the TV, indoor games, Library , scenic view from the balcony or even the food. The place was found to be very safe & we only got the positive feelings inside the place. For me it was the HOME away from the HOME. Worth mentioning the simplicity & warmness of the caretaker Mr. Ganesh. Always ready to help with a big smile on his face. He makes awesome food be it paneer pakoda, Poha , Yello Dal or the Parathas. Calories concisions people will only feel disappointed as his food it just too tempting & one can’t resist. We really enjoyed the tracking in & around the place. Would highly recommend to go deep down the valley & feel the clouds. Visiting the lush green fields , interacting with the locals was also the great experience for us. Overall it was a great family holiday with lots of sweet memories & experiences. Would highly recommend to visit the place & also stay at this property. We would love to visit the place again for sure to have a good view of the Himalia’s peak post monsoon. Finally thanks to Raghavendra & Genesh for having us in their property. All the very best !

This is an excellent property located at Majkhali, away from the crowds with beautiful views of the Himalayan peaks and vast valleys from the balconies. Ganesh, the caretaker, is very helpful and a good cook. The cottage itself is tastefully decorated and a comfortable place to stay. Great place to unwind and relax. Highly recommended.
