White House Mountain Homestay, Nainital | Staycation

The glistening silver oak and rhododendron forests on all three sides lends a touch of drama to the 180-degree view of the imposing snow-covered Himalayan peaks here. The crisp mountain air and the serene atmosphere slowly seeps in you, ebbing away all the stress of the city life, the traffic, deadlines, and more. 
Add to this experience the hiking and trekking options here, the nature walks in the forest, the sound of chirping birds all day, visiting the Maheshkhan forest that's perfect for spotting the wildlife, or simply catching up on some reading while the caretaker serves endless rounds of hand-beaten cappuccino or ginger-tea and you are in heaven.
