Discovering the Heart of Kumaon
Venture beyond the ordinary into Kumaon’s most stunning corners , each one a story waiting to unfold.
Trekking Trails and Scenic Routes
Ramgarh is one of the Kumaon region’s finest hidden jewels, often called the ‘Fruit Bowl of Kumaon’ for its lush orchards of peaches, apricots, and apples. Away from the main tourist hubs, this tranquil destination offers unobstructed views of the majestic Himalayas and quiet trails, making it a perfect retreat for nature enthusiasts and peace seekers. If you enjoy discovering serene spots with a rich literary past—once inspiring Rabindranath Tagore—this destination is perfect for you.
Mahadevi Varma Museum
Just sixty seconds from your door at Whispering Oaks, poetry still lives in the walls where Mahadevi Varma once dreamed her verses into being. Now a gentle museum, her home holds the quiet of a woman who turned longing into language ~ and somehow, knowing her words were born this close makes the air around you feel a little more sacred, a little more alive with meaning.
Tagore Top (8 mins)
Eight minutes from oaks. Let that sink in. The viewpoint that inspired Tagore’s poetry is basically your neighbor. Sunrise here hits different when you don’t have to wake at 4 AM and drive for hours. This is the advantage of staying where magic lives.
Garur Tal (45 mins)
This serene lake doesn’t show up on every itinerary ~ locals guard it fiercely for a good reason. Peaceful, untouched, ridiculously photogenic. At just 45 minutes from Oaks, you arrive without the rush, stay without the crowds. Time to absorb the beauty, not just photograph it. Strategic location means access to hidden gems with hours left to savor them. Consider yourself in the know with THL.
Tea garden Shyamkhet (20 mins)
Emerald rows stretching endlessly, golden light filtering through, air so fresh it feels like meditation. At Shyamkhet’s tea gardens, time bends differently. 20 mins away means you’re here when most are still planning. Walk slowly. Touch the leaves. This is the moment people travel for but rarely get: unhurried, unfiltered, unforgettable
Bhimtal lake (45 mins)
Bhimtal Lake is a must-visit for anyone seeking calm, beauty, and a touch of adventure. Glide across its serene waters, stroll along the lush shoreline, and soak in the picturesque surroundings
Naukuchiatal (1 hr)
The nine-cornered lake everyone talks about but few actually see. Legends say spotting all nine corners grants wishes ~ we say being just an hour away means you can actually try. Morning drives, mystic waters, and the kind of beauty that makes your friends jealous when you post it.
Mukteshwar Dham Temple
Surrounded by majestic mountains and tranquil energy, this serene mountain retreat is the perfect escape to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your soul. Just a scenic 30-minute drive from our homestay, it makes for an ideal day trip or a peaceful addition to your stay with us.
Neem karoli (45 mins)
People travel from around the world to this sacred site to seek the blessings of Neem Karoli Baba. Experience it yourself and see why it’s on everyone’s must-visit list.
Bonfire adventures
Some of our favorite spots aren’t on any map. Hidden clearings where crackling fires draw people closer and stars witness the best conversations. We handle the setup : the wood, the warmth, the magic. You bring the people who matter and the stories that need telling. Under mountain skies thick with stars, faces glow in firelight, laughter rises with sparks, and something shifts. Walls drop. Connections deepen. These are the nights that remind you why gathering around fire has always been sacred. Not replicated. Only lived, together.
