Itmenaan Estate in the Himalayas

Thank you team Itmenaan Estate for a wonderful experience. We directly booked the property and it was smooth. Great food and amazing hospitality. As they say the people make the place and rightly so the people of Itmenaan Estate were so kind, humble and hard working! They adhered to everything to the tee. Loved the quiet surroundings and the view from the lounge area was spectacular. It's away from the hustle bustle, as they say you can read a book, take your naps, must do the walks around, appreciate the local flavours and also would recommend going to Jageshwar temple. Thank you again Amit and Bhavna and Team at Itmenaan for making my birthday super special. Looking forward to coming back.

We spent the next 4 nights at Itmenaan Estate under the staff’s excellent care led by Bhavna, the hands-on Manager, and Amit Kandpal, in charge of the 3 properties. We were lodged in a beautiful 2 level standalone cottage, with clear views of the Himalayas from our bedroom, a sitting room downstairs & a small courtyard where we enjoyed bonfires on all evenings over conversations, drinks & snacks with another active & enjoyable guest family from Bangalore. The days were spent in enjoying the estate, gazing at the snow-capped Himalayan peaks all day long, taking moderately difficult mountain treks, village walks, visiting the beautifully located Ramkrishna Kutir in Almora, stopping at abandoned temples, enjoying a lovely picnic with lunch arranged by the property on a hill top with stunning views of the forests and the Himalayas with our new-founded traveller Bangalore friends, enjoying the delicious local & European dinners on 2 evenings served, & time spent in the premises surrounded by forests, vibrant mountain flowers & baby pine trees…not to forget the 7 friendly dogs owned by Bhavna, nudging & pawing you, pleading to be petted.

Awesome place, with delicious food and excellent service. It is a highly recommended place close to nature. The village walk was a memorable experience. It is a must-visit place in the Hatke destination category. It is an off-beat destination of unique quality in its way.
