The Kumaon offers 10 luxurious suites, arranged in pairs across five structures. Suites provide private overlapping terraces with views of the Great Himalayan range. Lower units highlight locally-quarried stone, while upper suites utilize fly-ash bricks surrounded by bamboo sticks and copper wire.

Dining

The dinning at The Kumaon takes place in a cantilevered structure with floor-to-ceiling glass, providing views centered on Nanda Devi. The kitchen serves Kumaoni and international cuisine, with seasonal produce from local farms and foraged ingredients. Notable dishes include protein-rich black soybean daal and bhaang chutney made with ground cannabis seeds.

The Kumaon is located in Kasar Devi, above the historical city of Almora, an area renowned for its connection to artists and scholars. It sits along a route linking India to Tibet, offering access to rustic villages with medieval stone temples. The surrounding landscape features forests of oak, cedar, and rhododendron that lead to numerous trails.
