Village Walks
Wander through misty orchards and forest trails, past slate-roofed homes and age-old temples perched on hilltops. Let village dogs lead the way, as the Himalayas unfold in all their glory.
Experience
In Hartola, every path tells a story. Stroll through winding lanes flanked by apple and plum orchards, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and greet locals tending to their daily rhythms. The trails offer glimpses into the quiet, rustic charm of Kumaoni life — from intricately carved wooden homes to ancient shrines wrapped in prayer flags.
Children wave from courtyards, cattle bells chime softly in the distance, and the only traffic you’ll meet might be a shepherd guiding his goats. It’s an unhurried journey, where the joy lies in the pauses — watching clouds drift, spotting butterflies, or sharing a smile with a villager.
