Spring & Summer

Rainy Day at Kalmatia Sangam

Escape from the furnace of the plains to be greeted by cool, pine scented breezes, the song of birds and a variety of butterflies.

Spring
Blue skies, tender green leaves, blossoming fruit trees, the forests ablaze with rhododendron flowers and magnificent views of the snowy peaks.

Summer
Refreshing rain storms now and then, providing a lucky split in the cloud cover with slight glimpses of the Himalayan peaks. Gardens blooming with wild lilies and sweet scented roses.

Monsoon
With no incessant rains, as in other hill stations, Kumaon is fresh and pleasant. Lush, deep green and with a riot of colours from the many varieties of wild flowers and mushrooms - both edible (Chanterelle) and non-edible.

Chances of sudden, dramatic views of the Himalaya.  A paradise of wild herbs.

Autumn
Lazy, golden days with clear skies and usually crisp, clear Himalayan views.

Snow Covered cottages at Kalmatia Sangam

Wild cherry trees loaded with gorgeous pink and white blossom and the village houses a pretty sight with fat, yellow pumpkins and red chillies drying on the roof tops.

Ideal days for hikes and cosy evenings in front of the "bukhari" wood stove, toasting one's feet to keep out the chill.

Winter
300 km of unhampered Himalayan views; Clear, crisp air as intoxicating as champagne!

Early mornings at Kalmatia Sangam; An island surrounded by an ocean of mists which slowly disperse with the warmth of the rising sun.
