An intimate, experiential retreat that promises an exploration of Kumaon’s cultural heart.
Perched at 7800 feet, high above the pristine nature reserve of Kumaon Hills, Kot Kailash – our first Experiential Retreat rewards the intrepid traveller to a 100 year old house restored with local stone & resources to celebrate Kumaoni culture and tradition, run by a dynamic hospitality team. We are in the midst of a quiet and spectacular primitive forest of kafal, rhododendrons, oak and cedar; offering you a retreat with excellent dining and adventurous experiences in our pursuit of being the most brilliant experience in Uttarakhand.
Stay
All of the retreat’s four rooms are set against the backdrop of dramatic mountain vistas. All our guest rooms are generously spaced. Rich in natural light and traditional details, they even come with their own living spaces to enjoy the mesmerising views of the valley. The Family Suite, our most impressive yet, even offers a sundeck and an intimate dining room – perfect for precious time with the family.
Experiences
Mountains and temples make up much of the travel itinerary here. Choose one of the lush hiking trails to Jhandi Top or Basu Udiyar or tour Almora’s many sacred sites and forest reserves or sit back and experience Yoga at Kot Kailash with our inhouse yoga master. But if you’re after some private time with nature, then our chef would be delighted to curate the perfect picnic basket for you to enjoy in the forest.
The spread at Kot Kailash is deeply influenced by Kumaon’s culinary heritage. Gems on the menu include traditional dishes like Ras Bhaat, Bhatt Ke Dubke, Bhuna Gosht, Aloo Ke Gutke, Bhaang Ki Chutney, to name a few. An emphasis on local produce ensures that ingredients like rice, fresh organically grown fruits, vegetables, kumaoni chillies and free range mountain chicken make a regular appearance on the menu.
