4.8 on Google · 413 reviewsThe resort
A hilltop in the jungle, with valleys on every side.
The Rare One’s sits among oak and pine forest at Chaukhuta, a short drive from Mukteshwar town and the old Mukteshwar Dham temple. From the pool deck and the camps you look straight out over the valleys of Kumaon, and on clear mornings, the snow peaks beyond.
Stay the way you like: a Swiss camp under the trees, a mountain-view room, a family room, or a cottage of your own. Spend the day by the pool, in the café or the game zone, walk down to the Bhalu Gaad waterfall, or do nothing at all but watch the light move across the hills.
