The Kumaon
A ten-suite mountain retreat in Binsar, Uttarakhand, designed by Sri Lankan architects in the Geoffrey Bawa tradition. At around $361 per night, The Kumaon pairs tropical modernist architecture with direct access to the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. The cantilevered dining room, floor-to-ceiling Himalayan views, and hand-built construction set it apart from standard hill-station hotel formats.
