Hotels on the hills, esp. the commercial hills like Mussorie & Nainital are a confused lot. In the run for more revenue, they pack in rooms which give no flavor of the surroundings, which is the reason why anyone rushes to the hills for a vacation. Enter a place like Te Aroha, with the heart in the right place which... More

An awesome vacation for a couple. First let me start with getting to the location. I live in North part of Delhi and my car clocked 700 kms for a round trip to Te Aroha. So be prepared for a 35o kms one way trip. Patch near Rudrpur for about 30 kms is bad and full of potholes so speed... More

Probably my expectations from Te Aroha were too high after reading the trip adviser reviews. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed with the place. Our room was a suite (called "the guest bedroom") comprising of 2 bedrooms, a sitting room and one bath. The bedrooms were tiny and dark and depressing with hardly any place to move around. One...

Let me start by saying that I came to know of this property from Lonely planet and without hesitating booked our (my wife and me) stay here for 2 nights! We knew that around dhanachuli, there is not much to see, but since we were coming from nainital, we wanted a bit of peace and 'nothing to do time'. As... More

It had snowed in Dhanachuli on the day we arrived. While driving up from Gurgaon we were debating whether we should continue with our trip because the snow would have made the roads around Dhanachuli slippery and not easy to drive. With some encouragement from the Te Aroha staff and guts we went ahead and were glad we did. The... More

We visited Te Aroha in the mid of November. After 6h by train from Delhi and 2h tiring drive from Kathgodam station we arrived to Te Aroha and were welcomed by the whole team:) It happend that we were the only guests staying in Te Aroha so we really got a royal treatment. We were shown few rooms and we... More

a very well made, tastefully done property, attention to detail can be seen in every corner of the hotel. considering that it's located in a small beautiful village in the himalayas, it's an achievement. the rooms could rival the best in the business, period furniture, kashmiri carpets and rare books adorn each room. the staff is very prompt & efficient...

Charming beautiful colonial style building overlooking the mountains. Views from bedroom and restaurant were really special. Great getaway location. Expect a long drive along a rough mountainside road. Good food. Helpful staff. Very good Spa. Be ready for the cold nights after coming from Delhi. Could have easily stayed more nights here. Recommend.

Dhanachuli: Where Address becomes Rendezvous Taking a break from unequivocally detestable cacophony and katzenjammer, I along with my spouse set forward for Dhanachuli en route to Kathgodam. As the train chugged into Kathgodam, the weather still seemed warm for the foothills of the Shivalik range. The hundred-minute car ride from the station for Dhanachuli wasn’t any cooler than the searing... More
