Overview

Is there a better way to spend your weekend, city folks?
Kotgarh is the perfect example of humans living in harmony with nature. This short trip will not only allow you office goers to travel without taking an off, but also visit a destination that has not quite popularized as a weekend getaway (yet!).

After all, small villages make everlasting memories!
Kotgarh has been called the “the mistress of the northern hills” by Rudyard Kipling. You are most welcome to join us on this short, serene journey to rejuvenate your mind and soak winter sun while making snow-man.
