Sitla Estate

SET in the Kumaon Himalayas in a 39-acre estate, with orchards and pine and oak woods, Sitla Estate is paradise found. There are only five rooms here, warm and inviting with beamed ceilings, sawdust heaters and bay windows framing views of snow-capped peaks. The Nanda Devi, Trishul and panchchuli, among Others, provide the view to your open-air dining room where Vikram Maira, your host and chef, whips up delicious meals. He can turn his hand at everything from Indian to Chinese and Continental and serves up a mean cocktail; his mulberry crumble even gets a mention in Frommer’s.
