We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a wonderful stay. The view from the balcony stays true to its name, as the view of the Himalayas is breathtaking, would highly recommend staying at the rooms facing the Himalayas. The Talrejas are very warm hosts, and they will be able to guide as to which room is the best. The staff is also very cooperative and accommodating. The location is also convenient, as it is just next to the main road. Also a decent parking space is available at the property. Overall this can be a great place for your stay whenever you visit Uttarakhand for tourism or for workation.
