Around the stay
Mukteshwar
Mukteshwar is a ridge-top village at 2,171 m, 51 km from Nainital, known for its Shiva temple, the Chauli ki Jali cliffs, apple and apricot orchards around Ramgarh and long snow views. It suits workations, couples and slow weekends. Two to three nights is right, and it is one of the likelier places in Kumaon to see snow.
