At The Oak Trails, Haryal we have three cottages with five tastefully appointed rooms with attached modern bathrooms.
We also have two tents set inside an apple orchard.
The cottages are painstakingly constructed in traditional Kumaoni style. The stone on the walls are joined together by using mud and then the plaster on the wall is done by using mud and husk which provides for excellent insulation.
