Are you fed up with all overcrowded hill stations like Shimla, Manali, Mussoorie, Dharamshala, MacLeod ganj and Nainital? You must be because as per my idea we travel to the mountains in search of peace so that we can connect with nature and enjoy some time with our self. Mukteshwar Uttarakhand will end your search.

Which can help us to escape from hustle and bustle of our everyday life? Nowadays when we travel to all these popular hill stations we find that all the places are overcrowded and mass tourism has spoiled the destinations and nature as well.

I have been to all these popular destinations and found myself unsatisfied with the places. There are traffic jams for hours, especially in season time. You will not get hotels to stay and prices will be sky-high. You forget about peace and nature. People who only travel to make their list long might not mind these problems but people like me or any other who loves nature to spend some quality time will not like this at all.

While traveling to Mukteshwar Uttarakhand from Kathgodam you will find two routes one is via Nainital and the second is via Bhimtal.

Places to Stay: There are so many options to stay in Mukteshwar but not very luxurious. You can have some decent options at a decent price. We stayed at “Himalayan Teri Resort” as we were escorting a school group from Japan. It is a great place to stay with very hygienic food and warm hospitality. One more good option is ‘Club Ten Pine Lodge‘.
