The Kumaon Heritage Drive

Oak forests, colonial bungalows, and the Himalayan wall

5 days

2,420m (Binsar)

4-8

March — June, September — November

Five days on the quiet roads of Kumaon — where British-era hill stations have aged into something more interesting. Oak forests so dense they block the sun. Colonial bungalows converted into literary retreats. And behind it all, the 300km wall of the Greater Himalaya, from Nanda Devi to Panchachuli. This is Uttarakhand for people who've done Mussoorie.
