Weekend means Friday and Saturday nights. Long weekends and festivals are peak; the quote marks them.

nothing much to do

Why not Nainital?

Everyone else is stuck on Mall Road.

On a long weekend, the roads into Nainital fill up and the lake is shoulder to shoulder. We’re in the same hills, and none of that reaches the ridge.

It’s a drive. That’s rather the point.

Asked before booking

The honest answers.

How far is it from Delhi?

295 km, about seven hours by road. Leave early; the last stretch is better in daylight.

Can we come without a car?

Yes. Take a train to Kathgodam, 40 km away, then a taxi. There’s no public transport to the gate; ask us and we’ll suggest a driver.

Is it crowded on long weekends?

There are three tents. It can’t be. Book early though: long weekends are peak nights and go first.

What is there to do?

Very little, on purpose. The Sunset Sit, the fire, a village walk if you want one. Most people come back with a clearer head.
