  • Escape to the mountains of the charming Kumaon region in Uttarakhand with a stay at Mary Budden Estate. Perched almost 8,000 feet above sea level, this restored 19th-century Himalayan home holds the key to relaxation.
  • Hidden within the lesser-known Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, this five-acre property will allow you to truly disconnect and bathe in Mother Nature's glory.
  • One of only five privately owned estates in Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, it offers rustic, heritage-style accommodation.
  • The Lodge and Cottage have all the comforts you could wish for, including fireplaces, wide outdoor patios and delightful spaces for dining.
  • It's little wonder this beautiful property was listed by Vogue India as one of the '10 Indian homestays to bookmark for when you can travel safely'.
  • The food here is on another level altogether. Prepared with love and the freshest local ingredients, the cuisine introduces your palate to authentic Kumaoni flavours.
  • Breathe in the fresh mountain air on a walk, enjoy a lazy brunch in the outdoors with mountain views for company, or get cosy by the fireplace with your favorite novel.
  • Stay in the lap of the mountains in the spacious Lodge, a heritage-style haven equipped to make you feel at one with the surrounding nature.
  • The lodge ensures there's plenty of room to relax, with a spacious bedroom and dining room. Fireplaces keep you warm and cosy, while the huge windows give you a glimpse of the stunning mountains. Each Lodge package is valid for two adults and two children (aged six years and under).
  • Rest easy with all-inclusive meals, carefully crafted from traditional Kumaoni ingredients, including homegrown herbs, local cheeses, salads and fresh vegetables. With the set-menu changing daily, you can be assured of a deliciously unique meal every time. Enjoy eggs, porridge, Poha, Pancakes, Parathas, Puri Bhaji and more for breakfast. Lunch and dinner are extravagant affairs with meals such as Shalgam Wala mutton, Dahi Wali Bhindi, lamb stew, Ajwaini Murgh, Seviyan Kheer, Manchurian and more.
  • On one evening of your stay, experience The Eventide Coven, a musical performance by the local balladeers between 6pm and 9pm. Enjoy this magical evening with a nourishing Himalayan herbal broth by the bonfire.
  • Thanks to the stunning location of the estate, you can get easy access to the many wonders of Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. Take one guided morning trek during your stay and discover the secrets of this wildlife reserve, including pretty Himalayan birds, langur, deer, wild boar and more.
  • Less than 3km from the estate, you'll find Zero Point, the highest vantage point in Binsar, from where you can enjoy 360-degree views of the snowy Himalayan peaks such as Panchchuli, Shivling, Chaukhamba, Trishul and Nanda Devi.
  • Unearth the many gems of the charming village of Kausani, two hours from the estate. This quaint hill station offers front-row views of the Trishul, Nanda Devi and Panchachuli peaks.
  • It's also home to a waterfall, an age-old temple, a planetarium and more. For a good dose of history and culture, head to Jageshwar, where you'll stumble upon a hundred temples dedicated to Lord Shiva.
  • The estate also organises a range of exciting experiences such as The Lama's Path, where you'll enjoy a leisurely walk up the mountains and catch a fantastic sunrise. For the foodies, there's the Himalayan Lunch, where you can savour lip-smacking Himalayan flavours prepared with seasonal produce (extra charges apply).
