Keiths Riverside Cottages

This property is a hidden gem in the mountains surrounded by thick forest and kalsa river running besides it. It is around 23 kms from Bhimtal ( 45-50 min drive). The vehicle needs to be parked on the road and thereafter there is a trek/walk of around 15 minutes (800 mts approx) to reach the property. The parking is absolutely safe and the caretaker/someone from the staff will be there to receive you from the parking spot and carry your luggage. The 15 minutes trek/walk is wonderful/rejuvenating. As soon as you reach the property, all your travel fatigue vanishes in seconds. The location is offbeat, marvelous, pristine, admist thick lush green forest and mountains and surrounded by river on two sides. The only sound you hear is of the birds and water from the river. In June there is less water in the river and it is more like a stream but seeing the riverbed, one can easily say that it turns into a proper river during/after monsoons. There are three independent aesthetically designed, well furnished cottages in the property and a common dining room/area. The property is well maintained and has fruit trees and different varieties of flowers. The food is awesome. The caretaker Mr. Vijay is a wonderful cook and he prepares delicious food (both veg & non-veg) and I am sure he will give the well acclaimed chefs a run for their money. Bhalu Gaad waterfall is just 01 km from the parking spot. During the entire stay I felt like home. Weather was excellent. The owner, Mr. Sushant is prompt in responding to your queries. If someone is looking for serenety, a peaeful and refreshing holiday away from the city hustle bustle with clean air, a comfortable stay in the lap of nature with sumptuous food, then this place is highly recommended.
