Excellent Stay
Cozy surroundings, and impeccable hospitality. I highly recommend this haven for those seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating escape. The ambiance was breathtaking, and attention to detail was evident, with a thoughtful selection of books on uttarakhand's nature and wildlife, along with kumaoni food recipes, adding an extra layer of charm to the stay. Chandan bhaiya, the caretaker, was helpful, ensuring that every need was met with warmth and efficiency. The culinary experience was nothing short of delightful, as the food served surpassed expectations in both quality and taste.

Excellent location and service.
Our stay at nayalap was amazing. It’s located near a small village with breathtaking views right from your cottages. Hygiene is good and the local cuisine served here is as tasty as it gets. And the most endearing host here is elsa, a pet dog of the owners. The nights here are lit by bonfire. It’s a little isolated location which gives you peace and a vacation away from bustling and crowded places such as nainital etc. The only issue which one can face here is hot and humid days during summer months as only side fans are provided in the rooms.

It is so much more than just a place to stay.
The tents were super comfortable, while the staff was always ready to go out of their way to help. Also the views were absolutely stunning. Tanuja, the host was extremely amiable and took us on a beautiful forest walk with chai and sandwiches at the end! Nayalap is not about luxury, it is about respecting the context of mountains, slowing migration, understanding local culture and traditions. It so much more than just a place to stay. Highly recommended!

Nayalap is an incredible concept and beautiful destination for a holiday in the hills. We visited shitlakhet in May and and enjoyed our authentic and delicious pahadi food from Nayalap. The host Tanuja was really helpful and took us on an incredible walk through the forests where we spotted many native birds. An excellent and a relaxing holiday! Wishing the Nayalap team the very best. Cheers! until we meet the next time!

My friend and I visited Tanuja’s bnb for my birthday. Everything was spot on - from the beautiful setup to cozy arrangements, and delicious food. There were snacks in the room that we got refilled because they were so yum!
Tanuja took us around the forest for a walk and shared so many interesting facts about Shitlakhet. We also tried wild berries along the way and spoke about how they keep the forest healthy & happy.

The Amazing Stay @Nayalap, Shitlakhet
I always want to chose place which is away from the madness of city life and also away from crowd. While searching for a place where I can be in nature, I bumped upon a beautiful place at Shitlakhet which is nearly 22 km from Ranikhet, a popular destination at Kumaon. While looking at their website, I was already impressed but I will called the owner and Tanuja, the owner shared me a great details including a brief route map from Delhi , as I was traveling via car.
