Nestled in the quiet village of Banlekhi—home to just four houses and one cozy resort—Banlekhi Cottages is a true hidden gem in Mukteshwar. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, we soaked in everything from vibrant rainbows and sudden hailstorms to peaceful moonrises and glowing sunrises. The serenity of the place, the ease of access, and ample parking made it a perfect retreat. A heartfelt thanks to Mr. Rajesh, the host—a kind, down-to-earth soul who made sure our stay was seamless and full of warmth. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.
