The lodge is located in pristine surroundings and has a Pine forest all around with distant views of the valleys of Tehri Garhwal.
The day begins early in the morning with a stunning sunrise from behind the peaks. With the colours changing by the minute, this is a sight well worth getting up early for!! The place is ideal for long walks and a nature walk warms one for the breakfast to follow. The restaurant itself has stunning views of the scenery around and one can partake of their breakfast in the outdoors also. For those who prefer to curl up with a book, there are numerous spaces including the balconies, large natural spaces or one can take a short walk into the pine forests to spend a few hours by themselves. You could also set off for a beautiful drive to Kanatal and Dhanaulti where you could explore the thick forests around Kanatal or visit the potato farms and the Eco Park in Dhanaulti. The Eco Park is an initiative of the local Forest Department and the citizens to set up an eco friendly space with great walking trails, sitting spaces, soft adventure activities, etc. in the midst of the lush greenery. One can also cycle or drive. |
