Set amongst the
towering peaks of the Kumaon Himalayas, this lake resort
surrounded by pine trees has many interesting walks along
quaint forest trails in the neighboring woods.
Jim Corbett had come
to shoot a tigress here in Mukteshwar but fell in love with the place
instead. Ideal for a brief sojourn, this slumbering hamlet, perched atop a high ridge soaring 7,513ft into the sky, exudes a charm unrivalled
by any other place in the Kumaon hills. Take a walk amidst the conifer
forests and apple, plum, peach and apricot orchards, and watch the
Himalayan snow peaks play hide and seek with the clouds, or, if you
happen to be there on a moonlit night, the twinkling lights of Almora
far below. There's magic in the air of Mukteshwar in and around Krishna
Orchard Resort, it will stay with you, long after you're back home.
