The enthusiasm and hospitality of Pushkar, owner-manager of the hotel, and the lovely, peaceful, isolated hillside location are the stand-outs of Kot Kailash. The homely homestay accommodation is simple and uncomplicated, but the real comfort comes from the enchanting early morning views of the Himalayas on one side and the rolling foothills on both sides. My room was a little chilly at night in late March, and Pushkar will provide room heaters if needed. Trails for short, enjoyable day treks extent in both directions, a few of which lead down in a few of hours, passing hamlets and farms, to the little village and ancient temples at Jageshwar. You can expect one or more of Pushkar's friendly dogs to follow you at least part of the way! Meals are simple, prepared on the premises, good and ample, and your preferences will be catered for (within reason!). If you want to experience the laid-back but dramatic nature of the Himalayan foothills, this is the place for you.

We had an absolutely delightful stay at Kot Kailash. The house and the rooms are tastefully decorated in a very traditional Kumaoni style -- with modern comforts. The staff go out of their way to make your stay comfortable, and the food (we asked for traditional Kumaoni food every day) is really delicious. A few steps up from the house is an absolutely spectacular panorama of the snow peaks, unlike almost any I've seen elsewhere -- from far into Garhwal into the peaks of Nepal. Pushkar is a wonderful host, going very far out of his way to make our stay pleasant, and, being a native of the area, can talk at length about the environment and the culture of the Kumaon. We had several engaging conversations together. I can't recommend this place more highly, and look forward to our next visit there!

Fantastic location in Shaukiyathal, just on the road to Vridhh Jageshwar. Pushkar, is a wonderful host. Lalit, Chandu and Pushkar(2) are just beyond helpful. Always smiling and ready to cater to any demand. Food, deserts were great.

Everything is just amazing! The location is the highlight of this stay. Be sure you get up early to see the great white Himalayan range just behind the hotel. The dogs Julie, Mickey and the big boy Bhaalu are just adorable. Simple things like the quality of Air, Water and the radiant sun just heighten the experience. The food is served in the thick brass utensils which give a very village vibe which i loved. Also, they made me a halwa instead of a cake which was a welcome change. Thanks Lalit, Chandan and (Top G) Puhskar.

Our stay at Kot Kailash was absolutely amazing. The place itself built with a lot of love and is perched at the top of the hill with amazing views of the mountains. The staff is very polite and helpful and very well trained.

Kot Kailash is situated in a tiny hamlet away from any crowd, noise or even the slightest sound . It 's location ,surrounded by cedar forest on one side and the mighty himalayan range on the other, makes it an absolute treasure. The staff is ever ready to accommodate any requirement. Had delicious meals and desserts during my week long stay !
