Sandwiched between Himachal Pradesh to the west and Nepal to the east, the state of Uttaranchal, offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. The hill culture that has been fostered and protected here for generations offers a fascinating insight to this rarely visited area which stretches up to the heights of the Nanda Devi range (the highest Indian Himalaya) and contains outstandingly beautiful yet relatively little known trekking routes.

With the introduction of some new and exciting concepts in Uttaranchal like the 'Kumaoni village walks' - you will experience a 'snapshot' of rural life in the Himalayan mountains and truly get under the skin of this region. The walks comence at Kalmatia Sangam Lodge and traverse the terraced foothills with overnight 'homestays' in various village homes. As a welcome guest, the locals are keen to share their way of life with you so you can encounter life as it is. Accommodation is clean and comfortable, but does not detract from the authenticity of the experience. The village walks combine well with a stay at the luxurious Ananda Spa and a tiger safari at Corbett National Park.
Something also to look forward to is the introduction of some luxury tents which will offer glorious views of the Himalayan peaks. From here you will be able to visit the Johor Valley and trek to Nanda Devi.
