Village walks
Away from the maddening life of the city, these walks enable you to take a pause and see the world differently by getting immersed in these tranquil surrounds which captivate the rural charm and you will be received with extraordinary grace and warmth of the local people.
The Village Experience provides an insight into the day-to-day rural life in the Himalayas. The walk starts in the region of Almora which was the first British hill station in Kumaon & located in the western Himalayas. The area lies at the feet of some of the tallest mountains in India where local religious customs and ancient traditions are very much alive even today.
This area has been a confluence where cultures have blended together, leaving behind a trail of architectural wonders that include - Ancient temples, pre-historic paintings and these charming villages set amongst green terraces.
The overnight stays in the village houses gives you a chance to experience local warmth and genuine hospitality where the accommodation is rustic but clean and has all the basic amenities. The walks end at a different village each afternoon where the houses have been partially renovated and toilets and bathrooms added without spoiling the ambience.
You begin this journey by spending two nights at the Kalmatia Sangam - Himalaya Resort which helps you to adjust to the altitude and will give you a “feel” of the area with its abundance of flora and fauna.
Kalmatia Sangam has 10 rooms/cottages all of which are individual & very tastefully furnished, you also get a spectacular views of the Himalayas.
