Newly Added Almora Experience

I booked this beautiful resort from Thrillophilia at a very decent price and visited here with my friends and we really had a great time at the resort, along with delicious food well served and presented. Loved everything about the resort. The staff is very helpful. The view of mountains from the room is really breathtaking. It is very good to see Himalayan snow from the hotel itself. The complementary nature trail was worth it.

We traveled to Almora with my 3 year old and I am glad there wasn't any extra charge for children of such age. I found it really reasonable and up to the mark. The manager was a polite young man who even asked us about our preference in breakfast.

If you are looking for a fantasy place than this is a must-try. The way this resort is designed is worth seeing. I have visited with my family. We liked our accommodation-spacious and clean. At the evening we have enjoyed a lot with bonfire and played the indoor games which were well maintained. I really appreciate the staff for that.
