The Kumaon, Binsar

Luxurious suites at The Kumaon are spread across five structures and feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the valleys and mountains. Each suite is equipped with a wood-burning bukhari and spacious en-suite bathrooms. Upper suites extend to large terraces, while lower suites have outdoor sitting areas surrounded by fruit trees.

The dining area is a cantilevered structure made of glass and steel, offering unimpeded views of the Himalaya and centered on Nanda Devi, India's second tallest peak. The kitchen serves a mix of Kumaoni and international cuisine made with seasonal produce from village farms and local forests. Special emphasis is placed on superfoods and native ingredients.

Leisure opportunities abound with trails leading to ancient shrines through oak, cedar, and rhododendron forests, and options for picnics by the river. The Kumaon provides tailor-made itineraries for excursions and opportunities to experience local culture. Wellness treatments include massages using locally-sourced oils, also available in-room.

The Kumaon is within a short distance of the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, known for its diverse flora and fauna. Zero Point, located 0.5 miles from the hotel, affords 360-degree views of the high Himalayan peaks. Nearby attractions include historic temples and beautiful terraced fields cultivated by locals.
