Sukoon in the Himalayas

Located in a small village called Jalna (Almora) away from the hustle-bustle of the city, Sukoon Homestay, a 02 bedroom Kumaoni cottage is all that you need to let yourself go. At Sukoon Homestay, your day starts with the melodious chirping of birds while the the first rays of the sun fall onto the stone walls and slate roofs of your private cottage. Your breakfast consists of local Kumaoni Cuisine made up of fresh vegetables and fruits grown organically on the extensive organic farms. The entire place will be given exclusively to you and there will be no-one sharing the space with you. Spread out in 3 acres of land in the Himalayas and surrounded by virgin pine, oak and rhododendron trees with seasonal fruits and vegetables, Sukoon celebrates Kumaon in its truest sense – the spirit, the architecture and the revelry. The inn breathes tranquillity and offers you the essence of authentic India: her friendliness, hospitality & serenely balanced lifestyle. The cottage has a patio, a small garden and a dining area which is common for everyone. We also have a small organic kitchen garden. You may also take a walk around and enjoy the amazing scenery.
