A big shout-out to Mr. Bhagwant Bisht for his hospitality and to Himanshu, who made everything seamless with his quick support on WhatsApp. This is the perfect spot for a truly comfortable and well-coordinated retreat.

    It is a very simple, clean and humble homestay. The cottage is separated by stairs but you will share the common space with the house owners and they are very sweet. He took care of every small thing like guiding us where to go, cooking the food we liked using fresh ingredients, and offering us lemons from his garden and checking on us multiple times to see we are comfortable in their home. We loved the views from the room balcony, jungle walk below the house, and yummy food cooked by them in pahadi style as we asked. It's a perfect place to chill and enjoy nature.

    Great homestay nestled in the hills with beautiful trails, view and village area nearby. Cutoff from the bustle of the city and tourist traffic, it's a great location to unwind and relax. Special thanks to the caretaker - Bhagwant Ji for making our stay joyful and comfortable. Available for all queries and accommodating of all requests, very knowledgeable and friendly vibes overall. Please note - The room is as advertised. Explore the green trails nearby for a unique experience. Go to the village school, interact with the locals, have a one of a kind time! But be prepared to rent or own a vehicle all the time if you want to go to the nearby towns, which are each about an hr away.

    We visited Saffron stays Altura for 2 nights. Initially I was sceptical for booking the property but took a chance going by the reviews. And I wasn't disappointed at all. The view was spectacular. The room with the attic was quite cosy. The food was the best food I had during my entire 1 week stay in UK. The hospitality provided Mr Bhagwant and his family made us very comfortable from the moment we arrived there. Can't recommend this place enough. Would definitely be happy to go there again, next time for a longer stay.

You can trust the locals whole heartedly and they will show you around Mukteshwar, Almora and Bhimtal. Everyone was super nice and the food was amazing at both Altura and nearby areas.

    An Unforgettable Stay at a Warm and Welcoming Saffron Altura Ok, here is my detailed feedback: I recently had the pleasure of staying at Saffron Stays Altura property with my Wife and little daughter in Mukteshwar that exceeded all my expectations and left an indelible mark on my travel experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt like a member of the host's family, enveloped in their warmth and genuine hospitality. First and foremost, the host and his family were incredibly kind and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and happiness throughout and even post my stay. From offering helpful recommendations about local attractions and guiding us on a small trek to making sure we had everything we needed, their attentiveness truly made me feel like a valued guest. One of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the meals prepared by the host and his family. The flavors and aromas that emanated from their kitchen were simply irresistible. Each dish was a masterpiece, reflecting their culinary expertise and passion for cooking. This property itself was a haven of comfort and serenity. The accommodation was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, creating a welcoming atmosphere that instantly made me feel at ease. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the thoughtful amenities provided to the cozy furnishings that made the space feel like a home away from home. The location of the property was also ideal. Nestled in a picturesque neighborhood, it offered a perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. The surrounding area was rich in natural beauty, providing ample opportunities for scenic walks and exploration. From their own bountiful farm, the host generously provided an assortment of freshly picked fruits including peaches, plums, apricots, and apples. The flavors were unparalleled, as each fruit boasted a natural sweetness and juiciness that could only be achieved through thoughtful cultivation and careful harvesting. It was a delightful experience to indulge in these succulent fruits, straight from the source. Furthermore, the host's knowledge and passion for the area were invaluable. Their insights and recommendations allowed me to make the most of my time, discovering hidden gems and experiencing the authentic essence of the destination. Their genuine enthusiasm for sharing their heritage and culture added an extra layer of depth to my travel experience. We wanted to extend our stay for

    Location of the property is top notch... Felt like sitting in the lap of mountains bcoz of the view we got to see... Series of Panchachuli peaks from the window.. It was actually a homestay... Owner was too good in his job.. Excellent hospitality is what u get in there... Built in kitchen in the room is also available... Apart from that owner provides mouth watering food and breakfast homely prepared... Location was away from Main mukteshwar temple for about 18 km nd it would take approx 45 min to 1 hour to reach there from property... But if you are looking for a peaceful atmosphere with breathtaking visuals from ur property and a great hospitality, this is one of the best place to stay... But if u are planning to visit there, then try to visit from april to june bcoz that is the peak seaon of fresh fruits i.e peach, plum, apricot etc, trees of which surrounds all over the property.

    Altura shines due to the love and care by Bhagwant Ji and his family. nested in deep mountains and beautiful views we lived life like a local mountaineer, had a lot of tea and lemonades. Food was excellent. We were also greeted by Kilhairi (Bhagwant jis dog) who ran and jumped the mountains. It was a sight to behold. Bhagwant Ji thank you. We will come again soon
