Faraway Cottages, Auli

The property provides warm, welcoming staff, well-maintained interiors, and exceptional cleanliness. Guests enjoy spacious, cozy rooms with stunning views and comfortable beds, all in a prime, scenic location.

Faraway Cottages is undoubtedly the best place I have stayed till date. This place in real is better than the photos you see. The rooms are amazing and offer breathtaking views, food is mind blowing and the service and staff are outstanding and super helpful. We stayed 3 nights in the property and it seemed less. Wish we could extend our stay. The food is super awesome and every meal we had was amazing. Would rate 10 out of 5 in all aspects. Thanks for the amazing experience !

Tucked away in one of the most beautiful locations in the north of India (Uttarakhand), this is one of those hidden gems which will keep you coming back for more. Here are some of the points that make Faraway cottages a must visit : 1) The View: If you are a person that appreciates true natural beauty like myself, you will get to feast your eyes on majestic unobstructed 360 degree views of the himalayas all around you. And no amount of this will ever be enough. It leaves a last impression on you and the sense of amazement stays with you every time you look around. There are also sprawling views of fields and farms below. 2) The Food: We went in with no expectation about the food at a cottage, as we tend to mostly explore the restaurants in the area to experience local culture. Not here. The unassuming cozy restaurant offers some seriously good dishes which will have you licking your fingers after every meal. It has to be something to do with the water in the area, but EVERY SINGLE MEAL was DELICIOUS. So much so that I met with the chef and made sure he felt my appreciation. 3) The People: The hospitality of the Pahadi(mountain people) is well known, and is exemplified at this this location. Such kind, welcoming and warm people - this I felt was truly the best part of visiting Uttarakhand in general but in particular this cottage. I wanted to specifically mention Naval Kishore, the manager - always made sure we felt at home and tended to our every need Our server, who treated us like royalty every time we came for a meal. You are truly made to feel special. All this said, the only drawback of this property is the approach and the roads. The roads in the region are generally sub par as you'd expect from such a location and I would definitely recommend hiring a local cab who is familiar with the terrain. Our driver had little to no problem driving a Swift Dzire through these roads, but it is not the most comfortable ride. This is the only reservation I would have for otherwise a splendid experience which I will cherish for my lifetime.
