The Kumaon, Binsar

Suites at The Kumaon provide stunning views of the valleys and mountains. Lower suites, built with locally-quarried stone, reflect the architectural style of Kumaoni village homes, whereas upper suites utilize fly-ash bricks clad with bamboo sticks and copper wire.

Signature dishes include protein-rich black soybean daal and bhaang chutney made from ground cannabis seeds.
