Sitla Estate

A quiet Himalayan homestead at Mukteshwar, where Vikram Maira still lives on the land, the menus come from the orchards, and the suites look onto a reserve forest.

Our read

Sitla is worth the journey because it is a working homestead the owner still lives on, with orchard meals and reserve-forest air, not a Mukteshwar hotel with a spa menu.

Come here for

  • Travellers who will go to Mukteshwar for quiet, orchards and a long view, not a hill-station bazaar
  • People who want dinners the owner curates, and who can sit with a book after a walk
  • Guests who prefer a suite looking onto forest rather than a town hotel

Skip it if

  • You want a spa programme or a printed treatment list. The homepage is walks, food and the lounge.
  • You need nightlife or a bazaar at the gate. Sitla is printed as a quiet mountain getaway.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Sitla Estate sits at Sitla, post Mukteshwar, in the Kumaon Himalayas of Uttarakhand. The homepage calls it a genuine, quiet, mountain getaway: apple orchards, vegetable fields, gardens, and 200 degree views of the range, with reserve-forest air. Suites are printed as restored and designed by Adil Ahmad. Heritage furniture, patterned carpets and textured walls are the published interior language. Rooms on the site are the Estate Suite, Deluxe Orchard Suites, Orchard Suite, Heritage Suite, and Heritage rooms. Vikram Maira is named as owner on the homepage, beside vikram@sitlaestate.com in the header. Breakfast is printed as eaten on the patio under the plum tree, lunch in the orchard, and a formal multi-course dinner from menus he curates. Produce is from the surrounding orchards and acreage. Pastimes on the same page are hikes, jungle trails, birdwatching, or sitting under an apricot tree with a book, then the lounge and a fire. Bookings also list info@sitlaestate.com and phones +91 92862 54873 and +91 79834 34221. A nightly rate is not printed as a single figure on the homepage. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
