Perched high within the lush green environs of Mukteshwar a distance of about 350 km from New Delhi, the Sitla Estate is a nature lover's paradise.

The 150-year-old house has rooms made up in colonial style giving a guest the feeling of spending time within the walls of a rugged mountain cottage. For those with different tastes, the contemporary rooms have been built beautifully. Each of these rooms has glass windows that overlooks 39 acres of the verdant terraced estate.

Water House Resort

Think of Jaipur and what mostly comes to mind are hill-top forts. But there is lushness amid the aridity too. On the drive from Delhi to Jaipur, stretches of green and hillocks appear along the highway, tempting one to spend a few hours amid the serenity. The Water House Resort has a similar appeal. A sharp right turn opposite the gate of Amity University, Jaipur, leads to a hidden gem. Built within the area of the famous Tree House Resort, the Water House Resort provides accommodation in nine wooden cottages, each with a thatched roof, built on a small rivulet. Inside, you are pleasantly surprised by décor which combines rustic charm and plush living. Also provided with each cottage is a jacuzzi, an outdoor shower and a private patio. Within every room is glass underfoot, which lets you see the water a level below, with fish in it. Ducks waddling around is a common sight here.

Glasshouse on the Ganges

There can't be a better way to make the most of your stay at Rishikesh than a few days spent at the Glasshouse on the Ganges, owned by the Neemrana group of hotels. Offering accommodation in cottages, individual rooms and tents, there's no other resort in Rishikesh that lets you stay this close to the river. Besides, the entire property is set within a lychee and mango orchard owned by the Maharajas of Tehri Garhwal. That's a perfect marriage of royalty and nature for you. There's a garden full of tropical plants, rare species of birds and butterflies, and a private white sand beach--a feature no other resort can boast of. Needless to say, the resort offers some of the finest white water rafting tours.
