Rightfully named ‘Ratananjali’, an amalgamation of the words ‘Ratan’ or jewel and ‘Anjali’ which implies a divine offering, Ratananjali by Hostie is a one-of-a-kind cottage located in Hartola Village in Nainital, Uttarakhand.
Love all things nature? Brace yourself for a panoramic view of the Mukhteshwar valley, adorned with apple and apricot orchards and a wide stretch of the forest. If you’re planning a getaway one of these days, the orchard is in full bloom and will make for a great picture for your Instagram feed!
The inside paints just as pretty a picture as the outside does. Think wood embellished ceilings, high stone arches, patios looking out to lush views and large bay windows that overlook the Nandadevi, Trisul and Panchachuli peaks of the Himalayas; if you ask us, it’s quite a fairytale vibe. We especially love the fireplace – the perfect spot to cozy up with a book from the in-house library.
Boasting 3 lavish bedrooms, attached bathrooms, and 2 spacious living rooms, the place is perfect for a big gathering, away from all the city noise. The price starts at INR 30,000 per night. What sets Ratananjali truly apart is that part of the revenue of the property goes into the welfare of local farmers to help them with the orchards !
So, pack your bags and make your way to enjoy the best of mountain views and head to where calm and peace await.
