Welcome to Misty Mountains Jhaltola

Misty Mountains Jhaltola is our first home, and now, a retreat we travel to, whenever we need to recharge. It is a space we lovingly built to live a slow life in the mountains, and to share it with those who crave nature and solitude as much as we do. It is a truly offbeat slow-travel destination. It was created as an invitation to slow down, pause and REDISCOVER BALANCE AND JOY - true joy, that only nature can instill. We share it wholeheartedly with those who value it.

If you seek a place of stillness, a place to rediscover balance and joy in your busy lives , come by. Experience the immersive healing of a thousand acres of absolute solitude in a Himalayan forest @ Misty Mountains Jhaltola, a place far away in Upper Kumaon Himalayas. Away from traffic jams and crowded tourist towns.

It will be like being pampered at a friend's home in the mountains. You can expect genuine pahari hospitality, spacious & minimalistic suites, and acres upon acres of a hidden Himalayan forest all to yourself.

If you find this interesting, slow down, take some time, and scroll down... to know a little more about misty.

few days @ misty - what to expect

Misty is for nature lovers. You can laze around in comfy garden hammocks, stare endlessly into far valleys and mighty Himalayas, explore tens of nature trails in the expansive campus, enjoy birding amongst the mixed oak and rhodo forests, go for some exhilarating hikes and treks around us, witness the blissful slowness of mountain life on our village walks, and just be present in the moment and enjoy the company of family and friends, all the while relishing soul satisfying food and pahari hospitality.

 

Misty has a different flavor in each season.

Spring Season: Feb/ March/ April - as the earth comes alive in the spring, you can expect perfect weather for river side or forest picnics; brilliant days and time outdoors for walks, hikes and birding; Himalayan views on a clear day, bon fire evenings, and cosy nights. 

Summer Season:  May/ June – During the summer holidays, Misty is a quiet refuge in all the madness of summer travel. Being outdoors is fun as the temperature is in low to high twenties. Gardens are a big draw with summer blooms all around, and morning and evening walks in the forest are just what you need to do some forest bathing nd rejuvenating with nature. On full capacity we have 25 to 30 people on a acre campus, and a 1000 acre buffer forest around that. The nearest neighbor is a kilometer away!  No traffic jams and long queues, here. We will happily even design a “no traffic jam” tour plan for you, so that the holiday is more about relaxation and less about a hustle to plaand reach. If you are planning a road trip with multiple destinations in Kumaon, we can help you plan that too. You can call Madhur @ 9927039123 to plan your trip.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staying at Misty Mountains, Jhaltola was an unforgettable experience! While the natural beauty of the place is absolutely breathtaking — surrounded by dense जंगल, peaceful silence, and stunning views — what truly made our stay exceptional was the hospitality led by **Rajendra Singh Bisht (Raju Bhai)** and his amazing team. They work tirelessly to make guests feel comfortable in the middle of the jungle. Whether it’s arranging a trek, preparing food, or helping with anything you need — they are always on their toes from morning till night, yet greet you with the same warm smile every single time. I’ve visited many scenic places before and may even find better views elsewhere in the future — but I have rarely experienced this level of heartfelt hospitality. Their dedication and ever-smiling attitude from 7 AM to 10 PM, despite working continuously, truly deserves appreciation. Couldn’t resist writing this review. Would love to visit again — not just for the place, but for the people who make it feel like home. Hats off to Raju Bhai and the entire team! 🙌

Visited this lovely place along with my wife and son on way to Munsiyari and spent one night. We found it so nice that we had wanted to stop again on our return but due paucity of time couldn’t do so. We reached in the evening after a long drive from Mukteshwar. Mr Samson, the caretaker was constantly in touch with us and kept inquiring about our well being all the way. He sent a vehicle to guide us in for the last few kilometres. Although we had thought we’d reach by lunchtime but had got late, the staff nonetheless treated us to Piping hot pakoras and Tea (as per my wife's instructions). It was so calm and peaceful. While dinner was being prepared we took a short walk and one was left wondering about the serenity and beauty of this lovely place. My wife and me had a photo shoot because of the lovely flowers which grew all around.It’s a place where you need to spend a month doing nothing if you need to rejuvenate.Jungle sounds which we miss in cities were there. The experience was just lovely and one was left wondering how well this resort was being run in such a remote part of India. The staff was excellent and you could literally demand anything for food. Unfortunately due to cloudy weather we couldn’t get the stunning views of the far away mountains. It was with a heavy heart that we had to leave on our onward journey the next day after a sumptuous breakfast. Alas we had to bid Adieu to the lovely Mr Samson. Surprisingly the roads were good with fuel being available all along.
