Far from the Madding Crowd (North India – Himalayas)

Gagar
Morning breakfast.
Proceed to Gagar. Arrive and Check into your Hotel. Fresh mountain air, spectacular snow-studded views, long nature walks and warm hospitality , it is a luxurious getaway in the lap of nature.
Proceed for a nature walk or just relax and unwind in this idyllic hamlet with a majestic view of the Kumaon Himalayas.
From here, on a fair whether day, one can enjoy a panoramic view of many famous peaks including Nanda Devi, Trishul, Panchachuli, Pindari Glacier, Nandakot, Nandaghunti and Kamet.
The natural beauty of the surroundings has been a source of inspiration to great writers and artists including Rabindranath Tagore who, it is said, wrote one of his most famous works ‘Gitanjali’ from a hilltop in Ramgarh, where he lived off and on for six years. He planned to set-up Shantiniketan here, but eventually chose his home state, Bengal.
The renowned poetess Mahadevi Verma lived in Ramgarh and her home is now converted into a library of her works.

Chanfi
Proceed by surface to Chanfi.
Arrive and proceed to Chanfi Village. From here we take a pleasant walk through villages, with birds chirping, alongside a glacial stream.
Mesmerised by the singing glacial stream as it flows through the deep valley, one can’t help but enter a completely different world.
A working organic farm, emerald green rock pools and waterfalls, exciting treks in a pristine remote setting, good food and warm hospitality, just the right ambience for rest, relaxation and fun. Bask in the sun, reflect by the riverside or relax in the rustic style rooms with all the luxuries of a fine vacation farmhouse.

Chanfi
Morning breakfast.
Chanfi benefits from a moderate climate, mid-level altitudes (4,500 feet above sea level) and a spring-fed river as the water source. The farms here produce a lot of the off-season vegetables, as well as English vegetables & salad leaves for export. It also has several horticulture farms exporting carnations, lilium and other cut-flowers. Because of its remote location, Chanfi has little tourist traffic. It is set in a deep valley and the more beautiful parts are accessed by foot on village paths and tracks. The surrounding hills are dense with forest and the area is well-known in ornithologist circles for many rare birds. It is also not surprising to spot the occasional wild deer & other wildlife from the comfort of your balcony.
Opt for an interesting walk to a secret destination that opens itself to the select few who take the call to venture here!
