Bird House

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep

And miles to go before I sleep

And miles to go before I sleep”

 

Its just that Robert Frost never got to Sinola Malsi, a serenic beautiful hamlet in the Shivaliks ranges in the Himalayas. Through the history, the desire for peace and tranquility has obsessed humanity yet it eludes everyone as there are wars, floods, Tsunamis, Katrinas, bombings, flight delays, work stress and the human society continues to strive hard to attain its objectives. Amidst all this mayhem, the nature provides the balm of harmony; the picturesque timeless beauty of the hills, the sheer silence of tranquility of the woods, and the opportunity to experience nothingness is what makes the Bird House an experience so unusual.

 

This exotic part of the hill state of Uttaranchal, India, hidden in the subtlety of its surroundings of lychee orchards, amidst the chirps of more than a 1000 varieties of birds, has often been the abode of the rich and famous from around the country. Bird House, a charming, two storeyed abode located right in the middle of the woods, just metres away from the main national highway, takes you closer to God with a 180 degree view of the forest and an exotic view of the Mussorie hills. Once home to north-eastern royalty and famous ornithologists, the place offers gracious hospitality. The rooms have been luxuriously furnished and maintained by the hosts who have lived in the Spanish city of Barcelona for many years yet provide a traditional homely comfort to the peace and tranquility seekers. A wonderfully unusual mix of Mediterranean and Indian touch has been given to the building and the décor. The beautifully landscaped gardens and colonial verandahs offer days filled with laze and relaxation. Ideal for people with taste who prefer something different, the in-house Chef is delighted to cook culinary delights to tickle your appetite.
