Shivaya since 1953

This place has it all !! Great food. You can stay here for a week and you won't feel like a need to explore other places for meals. The dining area and of course the rooms face the snow capped mountain ranges. This resort also offers the best sunset view point in Mukteshwar. The rooms are very tastefully decorated. This resort is neatly tucked away in a corner on a cliff and is just below the temple of Lord Shiva, ***** the other side of the cliff. So while its very nice and quiet here, the hustle and bustle is just a short walk away. This is my second visit, this time with family and will be back again, soon .

The property is situated approximately 2.45hours away from Kathgodam Railway Station. At first sight, it appears to be a dead end complemented by a small parking space. As you walk in ,it presents itself as a quaint homestay, housing merely five rooms alongside a charming restaurant enclosed by glass walls, it is conveniently located near all sightseeing spots, for example, Zero Point , Chali Ki Jhalli, and the Mukhteshwar temple by foot which was the biggest plus point. The rooms are effortlessly pleasing and encapsulates a strong essence of traditional village life, all rooms are equipped with helpful amenities such as a hot water kettle, an electric blanket, and a heater. It would be beneficial if these amenities could be extended to the bathrooms as well ie like a Bukhari . As it was painfully cold to use the bathroom When the temperature is 1 Celsius We received information that there are plans to install a bukhari in the restaurant, an addition that would certainly elevate the ambiance and make dinning a pleasant experience.We did find the glass dining place very cold during the night and hence, suggested the provision of warm water and a heater, a request they graciously fulfilled once prompted. Shivaya boasts picturesque views of the Himalayan range with clear visibility of the Trisul and Nanda Devi which every morning and evening mesmerised us. The food served here is extraordinary,Every dish we ordered was palatable and left us wanting more. One of our favorite experiences was spending time with the delightful in-house dogs, Tyson and Barfi, they proved to be wonderful and cheerfull companions. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Deepak, Rohit, and Krishna for their delightful service, and to Shubham, who was consistently available and provided assistance whenever needed and to the chef Pankaj . Thank you for a memorable experience, we wil absolutely recommend this place to all our friends

Situated near the 0 point in Mukteshwar, it takes a 200m off-road stretch to reach a small muddy parking area. From there, it's just 50 steps to the beautiful homestay, Shivaya. Location: At the end of Mukteshwar, it's 100m from Chauli Ki Jaali, 100m from 0 point, and 200m from Mukteshwar Dham. All three spots are adjacent and accessible by a short trek. Property:I loved every bit of my stay at this homestay. It's very offbeat and unlike any resort. We booked a mud house vintage room for our family of four (two adults and two kids). The entrance is rustic-themed, with a small glass restaurant that's beautifully designed. Although it was hazy the day I arrived, one can see the Naina Devi peak on a clear day. We even experienced a small spell of snowfall! Service:The service by the manager and their staff, Mr. Shubham, was excellent. Given it's a six-cottage homestay, the staff is limited but very well-managed. The highlight was the food; their in-house chef rivals those in premium hotels. The food was incredibly tasty, and even with limited breakfast options, it was well-managed (the Poori Bhaaji was awesome). They also arranged a bonfire on request, which was super awesome just opposite our rooms. Improvements: There are a few areas for improvement, though they are minor. Although it's a homestay and one can't expect all the amenities, bathroom slippers and a dental kit could have been provided. There was a bit of a smell from the bathroom, which could be addressed with better ventilation. Also, the room with the extra bed missed a heater, although both beds had bed warmers, which was appreciated. However, an additional heater would have been great in sub-zero temperatures. Overall: I enjoyed every moment of my stay here with the great ambience, delicious food, and awesome location. If you are in Mukteshwar for one night, just try this place!

Loved the property, amazing location with the perfect view, food is also good (chicken is the best, staff is helpful as well.

The stay is very beautiful and we can see mountains very clearly, if one wants to stay in mukteshwar then this is the best place. Food was also very delicious and staff was also very co-operative and friendly.

It was a horrible experience..they denied us of checking in saying that our booking doesn’t exist and that they don’t expect bookings through Agoda.We accepted whatever they said but the manager was not courteous towards the situation,not even offered us water or anywhere to sit since we had come from far. The location is fine though the passage to the property is not at all good with really pathetic parking…though we didn’t stay but the resort is very average.We did not get the chance to see the rooms. We got a better property in a better price and better location.
