Take a welcome break from smog, pollution, fast cars with blazing horns, loud music, mutual funds, lure of money, sitting before the idiot box; be away from familiar territory to an unknown territory for " the holiday of your lifetime" at "Uttarayan" P.O. Tripuradevi/Berinag, District Pithoragarh, Kumaun, Uttaranchal -262531 (India)  460 Km from New Delhi, by road, with a breathtaking view of the  magnificent Himalayan Ranges situated at an altitude of 5300 ft.

The snow capped ranges are visible from the rooms. The peaks which can be seen from here are Sunder Dunga, Nanda Ghunti, Nanda Devi, Nanda Devi east, Nanda Khat, Nanadakhot, Panchchuli, Apa and Napa and many more towards the east. They are so close that one can see the glaciers too with the naked eye.

You wake up to the delightful sound of birds call (of different kinds), a shepherd playing on his flute, village girls singing while working in the fields, the babble of children going to school in their tidy uniforms.

The first ray of sunlight on Panchchuli and on the other peaks is heavenly sight, a sight which you can capture on your camera, capture a moment that might be lost otherwise. The ranges on a full moonlight are an unforgettable sight, a sight that evokes the thought, "Time should stand still".

The garden around "Uttarayan" is full of flowers of a myriad hues. Butterflies and bees dance about them, the fresh pure air lifts one's senses as the soft swishing whisper from the pines breaks the silence.
