It
is my pleasure to introduce ‘The Colonel’s Cottage’, a hill resort made by me with
special people like you in mind. Nestled in the serene Mukteshwar hills in the
Nainital district of the Kumaon hills of Uttarakhand State, The Colonel’s Cottage
is a home-like lodging place with boarding facilities to help you wind down
completely and de-stress yourself as you laze around in the cool, mountain
breeze, with the ever gentle sun keeping you warm and happy. While affording
homely comforts like an ante-room attached to the main living space, carpeted
flooring, electric blanket, hot-air blower, a well-appointed bathroom, a long
balcony giving you an excellent view of the valley, the place itself offers a
clean environment with fresh, cool air that is a rare commodity in congested
cities we all normally live due to occupational constraints. ‘The Colonel’s
Cottage’ has a lot of open space for you to bask in the bright sun, and in turn
enjoy sitting around a bonfire in the late evening.
Mukteshwar hill sits high in the Kumaon hills at an altitude of 2286 meters (7500 feet), 45 km from Nainital, 55 km from Haldwani, and 343 km from Delhi. From October through March, the Great Himalayas is clearly visible from Mukteshwar heights, and a 180-degree panoramic view of the Himalayas can be enjoyed. Surely, the place is a photographer's delight. The other sightseeing places in Mukteshwar include Mahadev Mandir of Lord Shiva, Indian Veterinary Research Institute established during the erstwhile British regime, dense forests, trekking routes, and local handicraft outlets. But the place that must be on top of the list of the tourist is the location where the great bard Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore spent a considerable time writing his Gitanjali that bagged the Nobel Prize for literature. The place is just 12 km from The Colonel's Cottage, and it will be our pleasure and pride to take you down to visit The Writers' Bungalow, as it is called.
