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.

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 5 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 plan and 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.
