Dak Bungalow

A restored British-era bungalow where history meets the quiet of the Kumaon hills.

About This Property

Originally built during the British era as a rest house for travelling officers, this Dak Bungalow has been carefully restored to preserve its heritage character while offering modern comforts.

The original stone walls stand as they have for over a century, now complemented by warm wooden interiors, comfortable beds, and a fully equipped kitchen. The wide veranda wraps around the house, offering views of the valley and the surrounding oak and pine forests.

It's the kind of place where you settle into a chair with a book and look up to realize hours have passed. The nearest village is a short walk away, and forest trails begin right at the doorstep.

Perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking for a heritage experience in the hills — away from the crowds, close to nature.
