Ashish and Deepa have created this with passion and you can see that in the property. It is like staying with a friend who serves delicious food. The property is very remote even from Kathgodam. There is a basic road that goes there. It is a single lane road for the last 2KM. The property is on a slope so,... More

Just back from a trip to Sona Pani with family and friends. WOW . The property has 12 cottages. Done up simply in Kumaoni rustic style. Rooms are large. There is a spacious cupboard and a dressing table. There is even a battery operated lamp in case of power outage. A sit out in front of each cottage where you... More

When your cab takes you from Kathgodam station towards Sonapani, the snaking hilly drive through some of the steepest twists and turns you would ever see makes you wonder - can any place really be worth it? And then you arrive at Sonapani, and you slap yourself, and say - "Dude, what were you thinking? If you needed to walk... More

Any length of a review, would never do justice to this place. The Himalayan Village Sonapani may not show up on your GPS device, but this exclusion from a connected world is its best USP. A place suited to anyone who abhors the run-of-the-mill-hillstations and their hordes of cacophonous 'tourists', this place is exactly what you would be looking for... More
