Renz Himalayan Retreat

We had a truly peaceful and beautiful stay at the cottage. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping was such a refreshing experience. The surroundings are serene, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The food was delicious, and the hospitality was warm and welcoming. The staff was courteous and helpful throughout our stay. A special mention to Umama – we had a really good experience with him. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind in nature!

We had a wonderful stay at Renz Himalayan Retreat. The Himalayan views from the resort are amazing — you can see the mountains clearly. The rooms are big, clean, and very comfortable. The food was really tasty and fresh. The staff was very polite and helpful. We also enjoyed birdwatching around the resort. If you want a peaceful place with beautiful views and good service, this is the perfect spot. Would love to come back

Tucked away in the lower Kumaon ranges of Uttarakhand, Renz Resort is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever put up with city chaos. Just a smooth 300 km drive from Delhi, it rewards you with views of Trishul and adjacent peaks—because let’s be honest, finding snow-capped mountains this close to Delhi feels like winning the lottery. The cottages, tastefully done with a keen eye for detail, carry a fun twist—each named after a Scotch whisky, thanks to the owner’s ties with the Scottish Highlands (there’s a Bowmore, and yes, it comes with a dreamy private lawn perfect for bonfires and heartfelt conversations). The real showstopper, though, is the manager Mr. Digpal, whose warmth and hospitality could put five-star hotels to shame—he even personally took us on a riverside picnic, making sure we had the best time soaking in nature and stuffing ourselves with delicious food. With homemade meals that hit just the right spot and a setting that forces you to slow down and breathe, this is one hidden gem you’ll want to keep coming back to!

The location falls between Ramnagar and Ranikhet. The road was mostly good and in the final 500m, one needs to be a bit careful. Overall a good driving experience. The property itself is very peaceful and secluded. There are cottages and a bunglow option. We stayed in the Bungalow, it was one of the most beautiful and pleasant stays we had in a while. Food, though it is a fixed menu, the staff was always accomodative of our requests and food was homely and very tasty. The views from the location were amazing, and on a clear day one can spot the 7000+ peaks like Trishul, Nanda Devi etc. The staff also organised a river picnic closeby, that was a very pleasant experience.

Far from maddening crowd, in the serene atmosphere of hills,so near to majestic snow covered Shivalik ranges of Himalayas, enjoying all around divine Cedar n Pine trees!! We spent quite relaxing time here in Far Away Renz...rejuvenated..no pollution..clear sky with so many stars to watch.. beautiful sunrise. Not to forget such a modest n sincere staff always at our service!!!

Tucked away in beautiful mountains of Uttarakhand, Faraway Renz is an ideal place to take a breather from the hustle bustle of Urban life and spend some quality time with friends and family or even by yourself. I recently got a chance to visit the place with a few of my friends and from the time we checked in to the day we left, we were convinced we have made the best choice. Great nature walks accompanied by none other than the owner of the resort, Rishi, home-made food, a mini library, thoughtful collection of activities/games and impromptu arrangement of bonfire ***** with some traditional music. All this made the stay a perfect 'getaway' for us. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to have uninterrupted relaxation in nature's lap.
