There is a lovely intimacy to being out in the forest, with the pines overhead and the mountain earth beneath your feet.

For a few hours, the world is measured by the path ahead, the light through the trees and the pleasure of being exactly where you are.

The Nanda Devi Temple offers a more intimate glimpse of Almora, where the goddess remains deeply woven into the life of the hills. Spend the day among its history and traditions, then return to Mary Budden as the mountains take on their evening colours.

Mary Budden’s name remains above the door, but it is the house itself that tells her story.

It does so quietly, through collected objects, generous rooms and the enduring habit of making every guest feel expected.

Deep within one of the Himalayas' last great forests, Mary Budden Estate offers a rare way of spending one's days. There is room for silence, time enough to notice the hills and every encouragement to leave with a quieter mind than the one you arrived with.

Brian Houghton Hodgson understood these forests long before birdwatching found its modern audience.

Hodgson’s Chronicles invite you to walk the woodland trails he once explored, where nearly 179 species still inhabit the canopy. You needn’t be an ornithologist…only curious enough to look up.

At Mary Budden, the mountains are not merely admired; they are experienced much as the old explorers, scholars and naturalists once knew them.

Walk the forested paths of Lama Govinda at sunrise, follow Ramsay’s ancient bridle trails through cedar and oak, wander Darwin’s quiet woods of light and shadow, or listen for the rare birds once chronicled by Hodgson himself.

A gentler sort of adventure, reserved for those who travel not in haste, but with curiosity and wonder.
