The summer season, from April to June, is relatively mild and ideal for escaping the heat of the plains. Temperatures range from a comfortable 20°C to 24°C, with nights being cooler. This is when the surrounding flora is in full bloom, making the landscapes particularly beautiful.

The monsoon arrives in July and lasts until September, bringing with it moderate to heavy rainfall. While some travelers prefer to avoid this season due to the possibility of landslides, others are drawn to the lush, misty mountains and refreshed greenery that the rain brings. Temperatures during this period hover around 20-23°C.

Winter, from December to February, is a different experience altogether. The weather turns crisp and cold, with temperatures dropping to as low as 0°C or even below. This is the season for heavy woollens and cozy evenings. 

Escape the tourist bustle of Nainital and discover the peaceful haven of Vanantara Eco Retreat in Surya Gaon, Sattal. Nestled amidst dense oak and pine forests, this unique eco-homestay is a true sanctuary for nature lovers. Overlooking one of Sattal's seven interconnected lakes, Vanantara invites you to embrace the concept of "forest bathing" in cozy, traditional cottages built from mud and stone. It's more than just a place to stay; it's an immersive experience in sustainable living, where every detail, from farm-to-table dining with local produce to community-focused practices, is designed to reconnect you with the Earth. Get ready for breathtaking lake views, morning birding, and the unparalleled tranquility of the Himalayas.

Vanantara is located just 300 km from Delhi, a scenic 7-hour drive via Kathgodam. From Kathgodam, it’s a 24 km stretch with less than an hour of gentle mountain driving.

The final 5 km takes you off the main Bhimtal road onto a peaceful, single-lane road that winds through the beautiful village of Surya Gaon. From the parking point, it’s a short 300m walk to our property. For directions or assistance at any point, we’re just a call away.

Train: You can reach via train to Kathgodam. There is early morning Shatabdi from Delhi. Our MLD Home is around less than 30 kms from Kathgodam. A private taxi from Kathgodam would be comfortable to reach us.
