Darima, Mukteshwar

Surrounded by mountains, lush greenery all around, a beautiful tiny village Darima…. A gorgeous hill station where I left my soul…my heart and can visit innumerable times..

Mukteshwar is place where I can visit again and again. This hill station is so untouched, pure and calm… it won’t only sooth your mind but your heart. I with Ravi and Rajat took a week off to visit this place again… oh yeah… we had visited this place already and can’t get enough of it. Also, we have detailed travel guide here, here & here.

When we visited first time, we stayed in main Mukteshwar but this time we chose a village which was approx 6 km far from Mukteshwar. The tiny beautiful village was Darima, we booked a budget property in the heart of Darima village as we were staying for almost a week . We stayed at Oak Essence, the property was not that luxurious but had all basic amenities and the cottages were charming. The best part of the property was… it was located in the center of the village and the view from the cottage and terrace was treat to the eyes ! The property was surrounded by lush green forest, mountains and the view of terrace farming was so pleasing. Also, we met Bruno here and he was so adorable.

Waking up to the alluring view and chirping of birds was my favorite part of this trip. We trekked a lot…. in the morning, in the evening and Bruno was our all time partner. We went to main Mukteshwar to witness the gorgeous sunrise over the snow-capped Himalayan peak and visited Chauli ki Jaali. The sunrise was mesmerizing that I can’t stop gazing.

We also took a little tour of the village, chatted with the locals and played with the kids there and met Jahanvi. While trekking we met cute little Honey too… After coming back in the evening, we used to sit around the bonfire and enjoy delicious food with melodious songs…what else do you need in life than spending such beautiful day and night with your loved one under the sky full of stars ?? Ahh.. this trip was so soulful… the weather, view, nature, Bruno, Honey and courteous staffs of Oak Essence made our trip more memorable. Thanks a lot to each one of you for showering so much love…!
