Itmenaan Estate in the Himalayas

Kumaon style cottage was next level experience to stay. Most tasty kumaoni food. Tracking with Himalayan views was ferry tale. Amazing . Volvo, Good service isn't hard out, amazing service is rare. Thank you for providing incredible services. Trek was amazing Shaunak

It's probably 5 or 6 years past its prime but it just doesn't fail to live up to its name. The setting makes sure of that. Then Bhavna and team make sure that you are well taken care of, but in a non-intrusive way. Remember, Itmenaan? The food is fresh, the views are stunning and the staff is warm and would make your stay special. Just go with and for some Itmenaan.

We stayed at Itmenaan Estate for four nights in March, and our experience was fantastic. The estate is located in a small village, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. It boasts well-maintained flora, and the early morning view of the Himalayan peaks gives a beautiful start to your day. The old mountain-style rooms are spacious, and the homely food makes you feel at ease and quickly adjust to the surroundings. With no TV and (almost) no internet, you can hike to the top of a nearby hill, which also has a lovely temple. We spent several hours there, taking photos, having lunch, and even meditating. Now, let me share the best part of this place: the people who take care of you with warmth and love. Amit ji, Shivraj ji, Udit ji, Govind ji, and Bhopal bhai are always there to ensure your stay is special. They go the extra mile to make you feel like part of their family. They are also a great source of information if you're interested in the culture and daily life of the local people. Overall, it’s a lovely place with even lovelier people. I would highly recommend visiting.

Itmenan Estate came as a saving grace for us and thankfully it turned out to be the best decision! We were staying at a nearby property which turned to be a very bad experience and thankfully Itmenaan had exactly 2 rooms available for 2 nights. As mentioned in other reviews their staff goes above and beyond to make the stay comfortable, happy and a memorable one. Must mention Pranaya was of great help and Bhavna left no stone is unturned to make us feel special Best part was that my dog was loved and pampered by each and every staff member, she actually enjoyed more than us. Food is DELICIOUS, loved the gharwali thali. We had a picnic lunch down the hill which was gracefully organised by the staff, it was short trek from the resort. That was definitely the highlight of our stay. They also organised a lovely candle lit dinner for us which made our evening super special. Staff is suuuuuper helpful and courteous. Rooms are well maintained and beautifully done up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We spent the next 4 nights at Itmenaan Estate under the staff’s excellent care led by Bhavna, the hands-on Manager, and Amit Kandpal, in charge of the 3 properties. We were lodged in a beautiful 2 level standalone cottage, with clear views of the Himalayas from our bedroom, a sitting room downstairs & a small courtyard where we enjoyed bonfires on all evenings over conversations, drinks & snacks with another active & enjoyable guest family from Bangalore. The days were spent in enjoying the estate, gazing at the snow-capped Himalayan peaks all day long, taking moderately difficult mountain treks, village walks, visiting the beautifully located Ramkrishna Kutir in Almora, stopping at abandoned temples, enjoying a lovely picnic with lunch arranged by the property on a hill top with stunning views of the forests and the Himalayas with our new-founded traveller Bangalore friends, enjoying the delicious local & European dinners on 2 evenings served, & time spent in the premises surrounded by forests, vibrant mountain flowers & baby pine trees…not to forget the 7 friendly dogs owned by Bhavna, nudging & pawing you, pleading to be petted.

This is our 1st visit to this property. Very good property with great view,great ambience, great service. Ms.Bhavna is so helpful in everything. Food is excellent. Mr.Amit had taken care from start to end. Definitely we suggest our other friends this property
