Weekend traffic for Binsar hotel

Set in the midst of the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, the Grand Oak Manor is high in the Himalayas of the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. Throwing light on the rich history of the place, Gita Chaudhry, Founder, Globe1 Tourism & Marketing says, “The former residence of British India’s Lieutenant General Sir Henry Ramsay, the imperial home echoes the stately life till date in its fine dining, cosy fires, reading parlour and antiques.” Talking about the amenities available at the property, she adds, “There are nine centrally- heated rooms. Each room has its private balcony. A multi- cuisine restaurant The Acorn offers sumptuous dining experience.” According to Chaudhry, Binsar has evolved as a weekend getaway destination.

“Domestic travellers are beginning to appreciate unconventional places such as Binsar.

While a ‘ hill holiday’ earlier meant a mall road, shopping and boating, it’s great to see new developments wherein people are focussing more on nature walks and trails. The trend is moving towards experiential holidays where travellers appreciate ecofriendly elements at our place such as the absence of electricity, or the lack of television,” she says.
