3 Rooms @ The Verandah - Villa in Bhimtal

The Verandah is a hillside homestay that is so lovely, it's worth making a trip to Bhimtal just to stay here. The interiors are tasteful, cosy and welcoming. The utmost priority for the staff is guest comfort. Every room has a verandah that offers stunning panoramic views of wooded mountains and terraces. Waking up to this beauty, bathed in radiant light, is an indescribable feeling. Explore trekking, boating, and paragliding that are available at short distances.
