The best accommodations North India

A pleasant-room guesthouse with a very nice view of the snow-capped peaks. All are comfortable (carpet, hot water). The restaurant is located outside, in a small garden. Friendly welcome. Internet access (50 Rs/h).

This charming 18th century house has been patiently restored to restore it to its former glory. What a success! We have succumbed to the delicacy of the setting, with carefully selected furniture and precious fabrics that pay tribute to the immense Indian know-how. The situation is also ideal, right on the banks of the Ganges, north of Manikarnika. The establishment has a rooftop restaurant and a café by the river, where excellent non-vegetarian cuisine is served, a rare occurrence. Concierge service.

This 5* hotel is the favorite of businessmen and intelligentsia passing through Chandigarh. Its elegant 1950s architecture stands in the middle of a large palm-lined park. Behind its large windows, the lights are dimmed and the sober decoration displays a deliciously outdated note. Here you can enjoy all the comforts and services worthy of a luxury establishment: swimming pool, restaurant, café, bar and sports hall. The hotel perfectly sums up Chandigarh's spirit of functionalism and modernity.

This hotel is owned by the Odisha Ministry of Tourism but is managed by a private group. It shows the lack of charm of government hotels. The corridors are endless, the rooms immense, but nothing brightens them up. The friendly and responsive staff ensures that your stay is conducted under the best possible conditions. The hotel has a restaurant with a correct invoice. The establishment reflects quite well the comfort you have to do during a stay in Odisha: the minimum is assured but you shouldn't ask for more.

Sariska Manor is a neo-colonial-style wilderness retreat located at the entrance to India's oldest tiger reserve. It shares its borders with the southern gateway to Sariska National Park. The interior is surrounded by cottages, twenty-six in number, with tasteful dining and relaxation areas, all inspired by the adventurous and sophisticated lifestyle of colonial explorers, overlooking a magnificent garden and luxurious swimming pool. The style and sensibilities of the Maharaja of Alwar, whose passion for outdoing the English at their own game is legendary, inspired Sariska Manor, creating a haven of neo-colonial style amid Sariska's rugged landscape. The manor offers an unrivalled experience, with activities including cycling, birdwatching, hiking, climbing, excursions to temples and ancient forts. The 1200 km² Sariska Tiger Reserve is one of India's largest and oldest tiger sanctuaries. It provides a safe haven for a variety of flora and fauna. Sariska Manor is an ideal place to stay for nature and adventure lovers.
