Where to stay in Uttarakhand
A homestay that’s also listed on Airbnb, the bungalow used to be home to a German expat who arrived in India in 1939. Only 45 minutes from Nainital, the property is part of Itmenaan Lodges and comprises four rooms that come with a living room, library and den, that's perfect for you and the family to spend some quality time together playing boardgames.
