The hills have a new address.
Haut Monde Hotels is proud to announce the launch of its latest property, Haut Monde Xanadu Resort, Majkhali, a serene hillside retreat nestled in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, surrounded by dense oak, pine and cedar forests with sweeping views of the Himalayas.
Located just 12 km from Ranikhet on the Ranikhet–Almora Highway (NH-109), the resort sits quietly away from the noise, at an altitude where the air is fresher, the skies are wider, and time slows down just enough to matter.
