Ziran Retreat: A Homegrown Getaway in the Mukteshwar Hills
Mukteshwar is no longer a hidden dot on the map. Travellers come for the cool air, endless valleys, and the hush of oak forests and stay because time here moves differently. Ziran Retreat was born from those same reasons, which began as a simple escape and soon became a labour of love. The hills slowed everything its founders thought they knew about time. What started as days of breathing easy grew into a living expression of Ziran—life unfolding in quiet, natural harmony. This place, 6,400 feet above sea level, feels both deliberate and free: rooms opening to wide horizons, alcoves where children and pets wander without hurry, and corners that let work appear when needed and fade when it shouldn’t. Each day follows a gentle arc. Breakfast scented with Kumaoni spices, homely lunches, and slow-cooked dinners linger as memories. Children explore the garden and jungle trails, while evenings gather everyone around bonfires, barbecue, and mountain air. At our homestay in Mukteshwar, the mountains keep their own quiet rhythm, inviting you to pause and become part of the story they continue to write.
