Inaayat annex- one bedroom apartment

Inaayat annex is located in the same compound as the two bedroom Inaayat cottage. It is a more modern building with liberal use of bamboo board in the decor. It has a bedroom, living space with sitting area, dining table and an open plan kitchen as well as a large terrace to the north offering an extensive view of Shalli peak. There are also options for ordering food that is brought to you at the cottage by our staff. Located at an elevation of 2300 metres, Inaayat is close to forests comprising a variety of trees like deodar, spruce and blue pine interspersed with oak, horse chestnut and rhododendron. Inaayat offers fine views of the snow covered main Himalayan range spread in an arc from the east and peeping over the shoulders of the Shalli peak in the north. There is plenty of open space to sit out, soak in some sun, and enjoy the views. Guests have exclusive use of the annex terrace and share the entry gate, parking space and garden spaces with the Cottage. Hosts are generally in residence in the main house for most of the time from the spring months till late autumn. Inaayat is not far from the popular vacation destination of Mashobra. It is also very close to the luxurious Wildflower Hall hotel and the President's Retreat. The gentle gradients of the less frequented Bekhalti road just above Puranikoti village, offer great opportunities for walking or cycling. Forest walks of varying length offer the chance to pick wild strawberry or raspberries and observe a fascinating variety of fungi and ferns, pheasants and smaller mammals like the fox, jackal, hare and sometimes even the barking deer. If you are looking at coming over a long weekend, we need a booking for the entire weekend to make sure room nights are not lost on popular dates. There is a fully equipped kitchen, so you can bring provisions and prepare meals or order from nearby hotels/dhabas. We offer cleaning and a cook if available on your dates.
