Far from the touristy circuit of Mukteshwar & Nainital, ‘Hill Home’ is situated amidst the fruit orchards of Satoli Village. Strategically positioned at a height of about 6200 feet, surrounded by forests of Pine, Oak and Deodaar trees with a smattering of scarlet rhododendron, the cottages overlook an expansive valley & on a clear day, the view of the mighty snow clad mountain peaks of Nandakot, Nandadevi, Maiktoli, Trishul and Nandaghunti are simply breathtaking as can be seen in the picture above. The philosophy of our hosting is as uncomplicated as the name we have chosen for our homestay – It is your HOME in the hills and is a perfect getaway for families, friends and the lone traveller. Two full time caretakers – the young energetic & simple pahadi lads – Baalu and Bhaskar do all the helping, cleaning and the local grocery shopping.

The Hill Home is also an ideal space for striking that perfect work-life balance. There is a fast and reliable internet if deadlines have to be met. And when that is done, there is plenty else to do – short treks or day hikes or picnic lunches in spots that we have discovered in our years of living here. Time permitting – Baalu & Bhaskar also double up as guides ! You may feel up to spending the whole day outdoors. Or you may opt to sit curled up with a book – read or write or just hear yourself think- its refreshingly quiet, the silence occasionally broken by the chime of a faraway temple bell, bark of the fluffy local bhutia dog on his rounds, and the conversational chirping of birds. Bird watching, star gazing and a visit to the local weaving centre are some of the other activities one can indulge in. Visiting the local NGOs to explore opportunities/possibilities could be an option for people keen on doing their bit for society.

You may also indulge in your passion for cooking – Each cottage has a well equipped kitchen and the ever eager Baalu or Bhaskar to provide a helping hand. B&B can also cook simple home food in case you want to take it easy. Breads can be ordered from the baker a few hundred meters away from Hill home – you can even step into his small bakery and watch your bread being made. You can also walk up to the local grocers, Shubham’s or little further ahead Kapil’s, who are well stocked on artisanal breads/cheese and anything else that you may need. Lately, some interesting Cafes have come up in Mukteshwar. The 40 minutes drive through the reserved forest is scenic and a good way to spend half a day. Almora is a 1 hour drive away, and if you are inclined, you may drive further ahead by another hour to visit some ancient temples in Jageshwar and Vradh Jageshwar which would probably be a whole-day trip. Guests who want to drive up – The last 500 meters that connects the main road to our village is adventurously motor-able. We have a safe parking area within the Hill Home estate. For guests planning to fly in or take the train, we can organise reliable local drivers for pickups and drops. Cabs can also be organised for local day trips.

Accommodation The 3 self contained cottages at Hill Home are close to each other yet provide ample privacy. These mountain cottages are beautifully constructed with comfortable, plush and soothing interiors. Together they sleep 9 people.
