Welcome to Hartola
Hartola is a peaceful Himalayan village tucked between Nainital and Almora, each about 50 km away. With a population of just 700, it remains one of Uttarakhand’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by pine, oak, and cedar forests of the Maheshkhan range, Hartola offers a cool, tranquil retreat. The village is dotted with orchards of apples, apricots, peaches, and plums that bloom in spring and fruit in late summer.
To the north, terraced farms slope down to the Kosi River, with panoramic views of Himalayan peaks like Trishul, Nanda Devi, and Panchachuli. Birdlife thrives here, drawing birdwatchers from across India. A short walk leads to the serene Devi Mandir, alive with devotion during Navratri.
At night, the dark skies reveal the Milky Way, while the distant lights of Almora and Ranikhet twinkle like stars. Hartola is also a great base for short hikes and day trips to Mukteshwar, Binsar, Nainital, and nearby wildlife sanctuaries.
