The Whispering Pines

Address: Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand. Approx. 9 hours (450 km) from Delhi. The road winds, the trees rise, the phone signal fades. Then, you’re breathing mountain air and watching tails wag.

Location

Getting Here

A 9 hour drive from Delhi

It's an easy 450 km ride from Delhi. Just hop in the car, roll down the windows, and let the mountain breeze ruffle your ears. Once you arrive, we'll be waiting with wagging tails and wet-nose welcomes.

Introduction

Where Heritage Meets Hounds

Welcome to The Whispering Pines. A 1953-built mountain hideaway tucked under the cliffs of Chauli Ki Jaali in Mukteshwar. This heritage homestay, once the home of World War II veteran Lt. Prem Singh Thapa, now blends legacy and leisure. Wide balconies, whispering pines, and the warm company of Tyson and Burfi; the property’s proud and furry mascots. It’s unplugged, unhurried, and undeniably dog-friendly!

Cloud-grazing balcony, glass façade, and Himalayan views that hit you right in the feels. Curl up with a book… or a beagle.

Stone-wrapped, cosy, and moody, in the best way. Perfect for long naps and deeper conversations.

Like living inside a painting. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the mountains, while your pup watches birds do zoomies in the sky.

Food

Homecooked, Heartfelt, and Hound-Approved

Food here is less 'restaurant menu,' more 'mountain mama’s magic.' From flavour-packed Kumaoni fare to your favourite comfort meals. Everything is slow-cooked with love. Custom pet meals? Always on the table. Think grilled chicken, warm broth, and lots of tail-wagging approvals.
