Let's take a break and connect with nature's serenity at this hillside haven, The Village Walk located in the cosy confines of Almora. Placed strategically in the midst of three native villages of the Kosi region, this retreat has found its place in the Himalayan hills, one that is almost precarious but also extremely rewarding. Aptly named, this abode is a mesmerizing walk away from the Kanelli village with its small patches of home-grown vegetables, and intricately carved temples - whose bells you can't resist gonging and verdurous surroundings that echo distant bird calls and gushing wind streams. Taking a step towards a sustainable future, this property has been constructed by local artisans using all-natural materials sourced from the local neighbourhoods. A walk through the stone & wooden interiors of the villa will instantly tell you a tale behind its warm and cosy furnishings that actually retain the room's natural temperature, be it any weather! P.S. Don’t be surprised if you sometimes hear the floor-boards ‘groan’ as you step on them – it will have nothing to do with their sturdiness or stability, but everything to do with wood’s ‘young’ age. Envision yourself enjoying beautiful views of the surrounding verdant pine-covered forests, while the chilly breeze wafts an aroma of solitude and takes away the tiredness of your city life. Indeed a dream destination in the heart of Almora, The Village Walk is surely an immediate head-turner, with a blushing, warm tone that outshines its emerald greenscapes, and a 360-degree backdrop so picturesque, it must have been painted by God.
