Kumaon is a region of breathtaking beauty filled with abundant mountains, valleys, forests and scenic lakes. Almora has long been a favourite tourist destination for locals escaping the punishing Delhi summer as well as foreigners taking a break from the chaos of rest of India. Access to the site is via a slightly steep track down, off the main road. This village road stops about 250m from the site and the rest of the way is through a narrow village walking track to the site. Visitors are met at this point by the hotel staff relieving of the bag and baggage, making the rest of the walk to the hotel quite pleasant. There is an option of making the short trek by pony as well. The sloping site is terraced which is typical of agricultural plots in this area and is in two parts— a small half acre plot at the top of the site which was used to situate the service facilities, and a two acre plot, separated by a small strip of common land. What is special about the land is that it has uninterrupted views of the valley below and majestic views of the Indian Himalayas 300km away.
