About Uttarakhand

All our Uttarakhand collections:

Traversing the foothills of the Himalayas and plummeting towards the mainland, Uttarakhand is home to some varied topography. Known as “The Land of the Gods” it is famed for its religious pilgrimage sights and attracts thousands of domestic and foreign visitors each year. Our pick of the best places to stay in Uttarakhand are wide ranging and there is something for couples, families - in fact all holiday makers.

  • From the jungles of Corbett National Park to the picturesque hill stations of Dehradun, Mussoorie and Nainital, explore the highs and lows of this diverse state.
  • Whilst Hindu devotees head to Haridwar, foreign tourists flock to the yogic mecca of Rishikesh.
  • For outdoor enthusiasts Almora is prime climbing country.

Flocking to Uttarakhand for a bounty of reasons, Uttarakhand’s concentration of holy cities gives it an authentically spiritual feel, which many foreign tourists find both intoxicating and enlightening. Whether in Haridwar or Rishikesh, experience an evening aarti, a fire ritual on the banks of the river Ganges, honouring Lord Shiva. Uttarakhand also boasts some of the best spas and yoga schools in the world.

Others go for the fresh air, great outdoors and mountain landscapes. On a clear day Almora has views across to the snow capped Himalayas and the Annapurnas, whilst Nainital and Mussourie are the perfect options for complete relaxation and tranquillity amongst the verdant hills.

Uttarakhand's capital Dehradun is well known for its educational and governmental institutions that the British left behind and there are colonial buildings plus beautiful scenery to be enjoyed.

Wildlife enthusiasts will love Corbett National Park, which received its title in memory of its namesake Jim Corbett, the famed hunter turned conservationist. Whilst you will be lucky to spot one of the ‘man eaters of Kumaon’ today, there are plenty of other animals to be seen from leopards to wild elephants, crocodiles and sloth bears.

There are good train links throughout most of Uttarakhand in comparison to the rest of the country so, especially in the mountainous areas were road travel can feel like an endless slalom, it can be the best way to get around.

Uttarakhand lies where the Himalayas begin. Enjoying a more temperate climate than the plains of India the hill stations in particular are an excellent option to visit in the summer months. Although the low-lying plains of Corbett National Park can reach the 40s.

What not to miss

  • Explore the jungles of Corbett National Park and spot sloth-bears, crocodiles and elephants!
  • Join a yoga session, at dawn, in Rishikesh.
  • Go rock climbing in Almora!
  • Experience a fire ritual on the banks of the River Ganges, in Haridwar.
  • Walk amongst the old colonial-era buildings the British left behind in Dehradun!

The Hotel Guru's selection of the best places to stay in Uttarakhand is wide ranging: from wildlife to spa breaks there are plenty of options to suit all tastes and budgets.

  • Located along the banks of the Ganges, Aalia is a relaxing modern retreat with all the trimmings: wellness centre, spa, infinity pool, yoga and meditation.

For wildlife

The place for wildlife in Uttarakhand is Corbett National Park. Our top picks would have to include:

For families

With mountains and rivers and plenty of outdoor pursuits Uttarakhand has always been a favourite amongst families.

  • Kids will love the tented accommodation at AquaForest Camp in Rishikesh. Well priced, located on the banks of the Ganges and with plenty of activities to keep the young ones happy.
  • And with individual cottages and a four-bedroom villa, on site activities and bordering Corbett National Park: Aahana The Corbett Wilderness has everything a family would need.
  • The dog and the kids are welcome at Corbett Riverside Resort – and well looked after. The large pool, fully stocked games room and outdoor activities take care of that.
  • Due to the nature of activities (rock climbing, white water rafting) Atali Ganga might be better for those with slightly older children. But for those big enough to partake, this resort proves a wonderful family bonding experience.

For a romantic stay

So many romantic retreats to choose from couples are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding the best places to stay in Uttarakhand for romance.

  • Colonial bungalow turned boutique hotel, Te Aroha’s charming rooms, complete with four posters, are ideal for holidaying couples.
  • Wake up to views across the Nainital valley: Jilling Terraces’ whimsical décor and relaxing atmosphere mean it is the perfect romantic hideaway.
  • Snuggle up in front of your in-room fireplace at the Mary Budden Estate. Cottages with names such as Wisteria and Cherry Blossom are made for romance.
  • A two-day journey from Delhi, Leti 360 is the ultimate secluded spot. Luxurious rooms with floor to ceiling glass walls looking out over Heeramani glacier. Private lunches and candlelit dinners complete the package. A luxury, eco escape.

For a colonial stay

Many of Uttarakhand’s hill stations gained popularity during the time of the Raj and their colonial edifices still stand.

For an eco stay

There are some admirable eco stays here, committed to sustainable tourism and conserving the state's wildlife and environment. Some in a most luxurious manner.

  • You won't find any air conditioning at Jim's Jungle Retreat just an unwavering commitment to sustainable tourism. Using recycled rainwater, solar power, home grown organic vegetables as well as being pioneers of the Mahavan Project. The perfect stay for the eco warrior.

For a boutique stay

Whether generation old family properties or colonial bungalows turned heritage hotels, Uttarakhand boasts some delightful boutique stays.

  • Beamed ceilings, exposed brick and comfy quilted bedspreads - Rokeby Manor is a quaint hideaway brought into the 21st century by an outdoor hot tub with a view and excellent spa treatments.
  • One of our favourite properties by Neemrana, and in Uttarakhand for that matter: Glasshouse on The Ganges offers style, perfection and a quiet stay. Each individually decorated room is a boutique lovers dream.
  • Colourful rooms and delightful eccentricities Fredy’s Bungalow is a cosy stay surrounded by woodland yet close to Nainital town. A great option at a great price.

For homestay

Some people shy away from the ‘homestay’ but in Uttrakhand there are some excellent options – where you will feel at home as soon as soon as you arrive.

  • Shaheen Bagh boasts what is widely considered as one of the best private gardens in the country and all rooms are decorated with love.
  • Similarly The Cottage has had owner Bhuvan’s heart and soul poured into it. Quaint, comfortable rooms and home-cooked meals complete the stay.
  • Paddy’s cooking and unbridled hospitality will simply blow you away. The Retreat does what it says on the tin and is a perfect mountain escape. You will want to go back!
  • You don't get more authentic than Haveli Hari Ganga. Located in the holy HIndu city of Haridwar it includes charming haveli accomodation, yoga and meditation, and a full vegetarian menu.

For total relaxation

The mountains are calling you, for some ultimate downtime. Uttrakhand has some great relaxing breaks, many with the added bonus of limited phone connectivity!

  • Set amidst verdant gardens, pools and waterfalls Corbett Hideaway is ideally located for discovering the nearby wildlife. A peaceful (the clue is in the name) abode.
  • Similarly Mohan’s Binsar Retreat may be situated in mountain country but guests come here to relax and recuperate in front of their private log burner.
  • Soulitude in the Himalayas and Soulitude by the Riverside both provide chic accommodation and are the perfect destinations for a little bit of solitude.

For an apartment or villa

  • Our partner Booking.com has a wide range of villas and apartments in the nearby area.

Travel information
