Uttarakhand is full of travel options: Visit the holy cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh, or go on a wild adventure through rapids while rafting, or take in the views in Binsar or for those with a brave heart- take a walk on the game trails of the jungle. From luxury to the basics, you will be spoilt for choice. Rockstays will help you cut down these options and only book the best. Here are Rockstays top stays for Uttarakhand:
1) Grand Oak Manor, Binsar
The Grand Oak Manor by Tree of Life Resorts was built in 1856 by General Sir Henry, the British Commissioner of Kumaon and cousin to Lord Dalhousie, as a private home in Binsar. Located in the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary and now running as a resort, this elegant property will transport you back to the time of the British Raj. Each room has large balconies where you enjoy your morning coffee or tea. The resort does not have any TVs (a conscious decision) and does not serve buffet as they believe every plate served should be personal and with love. Binsar Wildlife Sancutary is the only wildlife reserve in India where you can legally walk on many game trails. Get a guided tour to the trail that leads to Nanda Devi peak- the second highest in India, or just enjoy the beautiful Himalayan views from the comfort of your room.
