Misty Mountains is a serene offbeat location located in between the forests of Gangolihat.nThis is how our trip looked like: We got a prompt conversation from the hosts and she shared the location with us.nDay 1: We reached the shared location and from there ferry service was provided for the 3Km off road route to the place. The drive is amazing as you get to witness the local village and chit chat with Manoj Ji. We were welcomed by Ambika Ma’am and enjoyed the lunch. Chandu Ji took us for a walk which was worth the sunset view.nDay 2: Post breakfast we left for Lamkeshwar Trek with our leader :p Chandu Ji. You get the view of panchacholi, Trishul and nanda Devi peak from the place. We enjoyed some Kumaoni delicacies for the lunch and Sana hua nibu made by the host herself.nDay 3: We decided to chill around the place and were able to spot some really pretty birds. Chandu Ji took us for a forest walk.nSome amazing things about the place:n1.) It is a serene, clean, minimalist but ample, nature respecting and a calm place.n2.) A great place for people who like to walk and explore non-commercialised places.n3.) There are no TVs in the room, an internet connectivity enough to keep you connected and a lot of warmth.n4.) They do not encourage plastic so you will not see bisleri bottles but water better than that.n5.) The food is home-like which keeps you away from those weird travel bowels and is made of locally grown vegetables.n6.) Ambika Ji is a great host and open to some great conversation.nCons:n1.) The place isn’t meant for people who can’t respect nature.

Love this place! The perfect retreat
